Best Time to Camp at Crane Flat Campground
Mountain mornings at Crane Flat greet you with crisp, invigorating air that gradually warms to pleasant summer highs around 82°F—ideal for exploring nearby trails and attractions. As evening shadows lengthen, temperatures drop to a refreshing 57°F, perfect for gathering around the campfire with fellow adventurers. Come autumn, the campground transforms into a golden wonderland, though wise campers pack extra layers as nighttime temperatures can dip below freezing, adding a sparkle of frost to dawn's first light.
Peak season with pleasant highs (~82°F), easy trail access, but heavy use can strain facilities.
Cooler temps and fewer crowds make fall appealing; campground remains open into October.
Opens late May; pleasant spring weather early but opening date limits full spring season use.
Campground closed outside May 22–Oct 13, so winter camping not applicable.
