Best Time to Camp at Crags Campground

Summer arrives gently at Crags, bringing warm July afternoons perfect for creek-side relaxation and pleasantly cool evenings ideal for campfire gatherings. August continues the pattern of comfortable days that invite exploration, while nights require a cozy sleeping bag. Spring and autumn paint the landscape in dramatic transitions—wildflowers pushing through melting snow in May, golden aspens glowing against granite peaks in September. Early and late season visitors should come prepared for winter's touch, as snow can dust the campground well into June and return as early as October.
