Best Time to Camp at Marijuana Flat Campground

Fall brings the most reliable conditions at this elevation. Daytime highs typically reach the 50s to 60s°F, with nights dropping into the 20s and 30s. The crisp air clears views and reduces insect pressure, while aspens and shrubs turn yellow and red against the rock formations. Spring and summer can work, but fall offers the best combination of stable weather and autumn color. Winter access and conditions are unknown.

Go if

Fall color hunters who don't need hookups, water, or reservations will find the price hard to beat. The aspen and shrub display against the rock formations peaks in September-October.

Skip if

A live closure is currently in effect, so confirm access before committing to the drive from Preston. No potable water on site means you're hauling everything in regardless.
