Weather at Rainy Day Campground

Best Time to Camp at Rainy Day Campground

Best season: winter. Winter is the standout season here because the ridge-top setting and frequent snow create classic mountain winter scenery and prime conditions for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Expect average daytime highs around 29°F and nighttime lows near 17°F, with snow present through a portion of the season—ideal for quiet, snow-covered camps and crisp, clear air. Visitor levels are low compared with summer, but the narrow, rustic access road can get icy or snow-packed, so chains or a high-clear 4x Peak months: January, February, December
