Best Time to Camp at French Creek
Summer days at French Creek unfold with blissfully moderate temperatures hovering around 65°F—perfect for any outdoor pursuit without the sweltering heat found at lower elevations. As evening approaches and temperatures dip to a refreshing 43°F, you'll want to gather around the campfire (and yes, bring that bug spray—the local mosquito population considers twilight their social hour). The predominantly dry conditions mean your adventures rarely get rained out, making this an ideal basecamp for extended exploration.
Comfortable ~65°F summers, great boating; late-summer algae and bugs can reduce enjoyment.
Open into mid-Sept; short fall season with fewer bugs but limited window.
Spring/early summer see cleaner lake conditions and fewer bugs per reviews.
Campground closed outside May–Sept; winter not a primary season here.
