Best Time to Camp at Lockett Meadow Campground
Summer transforms Lockett Meadow into a cool mountain refuge, where temperatures drop 20-30 degrees below the desert floor, offering blessed relief from Arizona's heat. But it's autumn that truly steals the show – when thousands of aspen trees burst into flames of gold, creating one of the Southwest's most breathtaking natural spectacles. As winter arrives, heavy snows close the access road, transforming this alpine sanctuary into a silent, snow-blanketed wonderland accessible only to the most determined adventurers.
Cool mountain refuge in summer; much cooler than the desert floor and pleasant for camping.
Peak season Oct 5-15 for golden aspen foliage; fall is the most popular time to visit.
Reviewed as colorful in spring; reviewers note good spring foliage and wildflowers.
Closed in winter due to snow and road closures; not available for winter visits.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: Fall, specifically October 5-15, is highlighted as an ideal time to visit.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Open season typically runs from spring through mid-October. The area is closed during winter due to road closures from snow.
- Current Alerts: Seasonal road closures due to snow and reports of vandalism to facilities. "Road to the campground is still closed," as of October 2023.
