Best Time to Camp at Koreshan State Park Campground

Winter and spring steal the show here, delivering that golden combination of mild temperatures, blue skies, and comfortable nights perfect for campfires and stargazing. Summer brings the full Florida experience—afternoon thunderstorms that cool things down, lush green growth, and yes, mosquitoes eager to greet you (pack that bug spray). Fall offers a sweet escape with fewer crowds and pleasant weather that makes both paddling and historic site exploration a joy.
