Best Time to Camp at Stoney Creek Trail Camp

While the campground welcomes visitors year-round, each season brings its own adventure. Spring through fall offer ideal conditions for trail riding and camping, with warm days perfect for exploring miles of forest paths. Winter transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland, though adventurous souls should note that roads and campground paths aren't plowed—making access more challenging but rewarding for those seeking true solitude. Plan accordingly and come prepared for Michigan's beautiful but sometimes unpredictable weather.
