Best Time to Camp at Ivans
Experience nature's grand spectacle as thousands of American White Pelicans grace the skies during their remarkable spring and fall migrations, transforming the river into a birdwatcher's paradise. Summer brings a perfect balance of warm sunshine and cooling shade from the mature hardwood canopy, creating ideal conditions for everything from morning hikes to lazy afternoon fishing sessions. The changing seasons paint the landscape in ever-shifting colors, making each visit a unique adventure.
Open and busiest in spring/summer; praised for recreation, shade and clean facilities during peak season.
Fall migrations and foliage are draws; campground closes Oct 6, so early fall is good but season ends early.
Spring migration of pelicans and busy season with wildlife viewing; reviewers highlight spring as a highlight.
Closed Oct 6–Apr 23; winter stays not supported.
