Best Time to Camp at Vogel State Park

Each season paints this mountain sanctuary in dramatic new colors. Autumn arrives in a blaze of scarlet and gold, with crisp mountain air that begs for campfire gatherings. Winter transforms the landscape into a hushed wonderland, occasionally dusted with snow that turns familiar trails into magical pathways. Come summer, warm days invite you to paddle across the lake or seek cool refuge beneath the forest canopy, while spring awakens the mountains with wildflowers and rushing streams fed by gentle rains.
