Best Time to Camp at Rodman Campground Campground

While the campground welcomes visitors year-round, the sweet spot runs from late fall through early spring when comfortable temperatures make every outdoor activity more enjoyable. During these prime months, mosquitoes take a break, wildlife becomes more active and visible, and you can spend long afternoons exploring without the intensity of Florida's summer heat and humidity.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
3.0 / 5

Florida summers are hot; water access helps but heat/bugs may reduce comfort.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Milder weather and quiet setting make fall a good season for camping here.

Spring(Mar-May)
4.0 / 5

Pleasant spring weather plus water and trails make spring attractive for campers.

Best
Winter(Dec-Feb)
4.0 / 5

Florida winters are mild; reservoir access and low crowds favor winter visits.

Planning Tips
  • Operating Season: Open year-round. Park hours: 8 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a year.
