Best Time to Camp at Cunningham Campground
At 8,700 feet, Cunningham Campground serves as nature's air conditioning, offering a refreshing escape when desert temperatures soar below. Open from April 15 through November 14, the campground basks in comfortable daytime temperatures that give way to crisp mountain nights—perfect for campfire stories and sleeping under quilts of stars. Pack layers for those cool evenings, and leave your winter gear at home: once snow blankets these peaks, Cunningham retreats into peaceful hibernation until spring returns.
Most popular in summer; high elevation offers cooler temperatures and access to trails.
Aspen foliage likely in fall; campground open through Nov 14 allowing autumn visits.
Open Apr 15; spring access reasonable but early season may have lingering snow.
Campground closed Nov 15–Apr 15 and inaccessible in winter due to snow.
