Best Time to Camp at Group Camp

Summer reigns supreme here, when warm days call groups to the beach, lake, and trails—though late spring through early fall all offer comfortable camping weather for your gathering. Plan a September or early October visit to catch the park ablaze in fall colors, a spectacular backdrop for group photos and evening campfires. Winter transforms the landscape for cross-country skiers and snowshoers, though you'll want to confirm group camp availability for cold-weather adventures.
