Best Time to Camp at Albert Moser

Summer arrives gently at Albert Moser, bringing warm days perfect for riverside relaxation and refreshingly cool nights that invite cozy campfire gatherings. Morning mist often dances above the river, creating magical moments as crisp mountain air greets early risers. The absence of bothersome insects makes outdoor dining and evening stargazing particularly enjoyable, though visitors should pack warm layers for those chilly dawn hours. During spring snowmelt, the typically gentle Cub River can swell dramatically, transforming the peaceful waterway into a powerful force of nature.

About Albert Moser

Tucked away along the murmuring banks of the Cub River, Albert Moser Campground offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking solitude in nature's embrace. This hidden gem, crafted by the skilled hands of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, welcomes visitors with its rustic charm and timeless appeal. While vault toilets and fresh drinking water provide essential comforts, the campground's dirt roads and modest size preserve its authentic wilderness character. For any assistance, a friendly host awaits at Willow Flat Campground, just five scenic miles up the winding forest road.
Albert Moser Campground caters primarily to tent camping, with limited facilities for trailers. It features six single-family and three double-family sites.
