Best Time to Camp at Myrtle Point Recreation Site

This exposed high-desert location offers year-round access, though conditions can shift quickly as weather systems sweep across the open terrain. The site's elevation and lack of tree cover mean you'll experience the full force of Idaho's sun and wind, so come prepared with plenty of water, sun protection, and layers to handle whatever nature sends your way.
