Some mention

mosquitoes

"Visitors praise the park's long sandy beach, birch-forest setting, and quiet, remote feel; Lady's Slipper loop is described by some campers as a smaller, denser loop within the park. Overall sentiment is positive for scenery and beach access with recurring concerns about insects and basic amenities."

Best Time to Camp at Lady'S Slipper Campground

Summer is peak season here, with June through August serving up perfect swimming weather, sun-soaked beach days, and wild berry picking in the forest. But ask the locals: late August through September might just steal the show, when cooler temps arrive and the mosquitoes finally retreat. The park stays open year-round for hardy winter adventurers, though camping availability shifts with the seasons. Check ParkFinder for Lady's Slipper Campground's current operating schedule before you pack your gear.
