Spring delivers the best conditions: mild temperatures between 60 and 80°F, lower humidity, and excellent water clarity for paddling and glass-bottom boat tours. Trails through the pines are comfortable for hiking and biking, and migrating songbirds and wildflowers are active. Expect moderate weekend crowds and occasional spring-break spikes. The campground is open year-round, but peak season books fast. Cabins have gas fireplaces available October through April.
Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.
