Fall is the most reliable season here. September and October bring daytime highs in the 45–65°F range, with nights dropping into the 20s and 30s. The weather stabilizes after summer, and use drops sharply after Labor Day, which matters when the campground only has three sites. Winter closes access with heavy snow and freezing temperatures. Summer is warm enough for creekside relaxation, though specific temperature data isn't available.
