Best Time to Camp at Camper Cabins Campground

Plan your stay from late spring through fall when the forest is at its finest and Mystery Cave tours are in full swing—summer and fall draw the most visitors for good reason. Pack layers for your cave adventure: while you might be enjoying warm sunshine on the trails above, stepping into Mystery Cave means entering a consistent 48°F world, a refreshing retreat on hot summer days but chilly enough that a fleece or jacket will make your underground exploration much more comfortable.
