Best Time to Camp at Weber Lake State Forest Campground

Weber Lake Campground shines brightest during the warmer months when the forest canopy provides natural shade and the lake beckons for a refreshing dip. Winter transforms this area into an unplowed, snow-covered wilderness—beautiful for those seeking solitude, but inaccessible for camping. Plan your visit between late spring and early fall for the best experience, when the trails are clear and the water is welcoming.

Best

Spring (Mar-May)

Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.

Summer (Jun-Aug)

Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.

Fall (Sep-Nov)

Beautiful fall colors, cooler temps, quieter campgrounds. Ideal for peaceful trips.

Winter (Dec-Feb)

Off-season, limited services. Check for closures before visiting.

This small, forested sanctuary puts you right on the water's edge, where many sites offer front-row views of the glassy lake surface. Step directly from your campsite onto the Lost Tamarack Pathway for 4.67 miles of forest exploration, or launch your kayak or canoe from the convenient carry-in access between sites #4 and #5. A lakeside stairway on the south end provides easy water access for swimming and fishing. Surrounded entirely by state forest lands, this hidden retreat delivers the kind of peaceful seclusion that makes you forget the outside world exists.
