Best Time to Camp at Harr Point Campground

The campground transforms with the seasons, from winter's dramatic displays of snow-dusted pines and rain-swept shores to summer's golden invitation of warm days and star-filled nights. While winter brings a raw beauty with its cold temperatures and occasional snow showers, the true camping season unfolds from late spring through early fall, when moderate temperatures and clearer skies create perfect conditions for lakeside adventures and peaceful nights around the campfire.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Seasonal note: "summer's golden invitation of warm days and star-filled nights" — ideal summer use.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Scenic lakeside and forest likely attractive in fall, though no explicit fall reviews cited.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.5 / 5

Spring described generally but access/conditions may be wet or challenging; scenic but variable.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
2.5 / 5

Winter described (snow-dusted pines) but semi-primitive access suggests limited winter practicality.

About Harr Point Campground

Tucked away on the pristine eastern shores of Applegate Lake, Harr Point Campground offers a true escape into wilderness solitude.

Five intimate tent-only sites await, each thoughtfully equipped with a picnic table and fire pit for evening gatherings under the stars. While a vault toilet provides basic comfort, the campground embraces its back-to-nature ethos with no running water or garbage services—visitors carry out what they carry in, preserving the untouched beauty of this lakeside sanctuary.
