Best Time to Camp at Oakridge Campground

Oakridge comes alive from late spring through fall, each season painting the campground in different colors. Summer draws families to sunny beach days and shaded afternoon retreats, while autumn transforms the canopy into a spectacular display of reds and golds—the perfect backdrop for hiking the park's trail network. Though the campground itself is seasonal, year-round cabin stays extend the park's appeal for those who want to experience Sibley's beauty beyond the traditional camping months.

Tom.
