Learn more about alerts →Spring wildflower season or early fall color is what this forest was made for. Study the site map before booking since privacy varies, pack water shoes for Hidden Falls wading, and download your permit before you arrive because cell service is unreliable.
No cell signal is a real problem here, not just an inconvenience. Weekend parking at Hidden Falls gets congested, and if site-to-site privacy matters to you, some spots disappoint without careful selection.

Time your visit for late April through May to witness the forest floor's legendary wildflower display, or come in early fall when the hardwood canopy erupts in gold and crimson. Summer offers cool, shaded camping beneath the forest canopy, while spring and fall shoulder seasons promise solitude for those who don't mind cooler nights. Winter camping is possible but limited—contact the park to confirm seasonal access and available services before planning a cold-weather adventure.
Late April–May wildflower display on the forest floor is a highlighted draw.
