Best Time to Camp at Oxbow Campsite

Winter transforms Oxbow into a pristine wonderland, where crisp mountain air and snow-dusted landscapes create an enchanting backdrop for cold-weather camping. Recent conditions have seen daytime temperatures hovering around a brisk 37°F, while nights dip to a frosty 24°F—perfect for those who relish the crackle of a warming campfire. With over 3 inches of fresh snowfall blanketing the area and only light precipitation expected, visitors can enjoy the serene beauty of a winter forest while staying comfortably dry beneath the protective canopy.
