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.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Shines brightest in warm months with swimming, paddling, hiking and shaded sites.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Mixed hardwoods suggest good fall color; trails and lake access remain attractive.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Good for hiking and early-season paddling, though conditions may be muddy/cool.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
Not recommended

Winter is unplowed and campground is rustic; not set up for winter recreation.
