Best Time to Camp at T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park Campground

While the park welcomes visitors throughout the year, certain seasons offer unforgettable experiences. Time your visit for late summer or early fall to join scallop season, when St. Joseph Bay becomes a treasure hunt for snorkelers seeking these delicious shellfish. Birders mark their calendars for spring and fall migration, when thousands of exhausted travelers descend on the peninsula for rest and refueling, creating spectacular viewing opportunities you won't find anywhere else along the Gulf Coast.

Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.
