Best Time to Camp at Eagle Ridge Group Campground

Summer brings blissfully cool days under the forest canopy, where temperatures remain comfortable even as the desert below swelters. Late afternoons from June through September often deliver dramatic monsoon thunderstorms that roll through the mountains, filling the air with the fresh scent of rain on pine. As winter approaches, the highland climate transforms, bringing crisp mornings and the possibility of snow dusting the forest floor—a reminder that you're camping at mountain elevations.
