No water hookups at individual sites is a real inconvenience for RVers who need them. A few sites also have gravel back halves and awkward picnic-table placement, so browse the site map carefully before booking rather than taking whatever's left.

Summer brings daytime highs in the mid-70s to mid-90s°F with nights in the 60s. Water hookups and hot showers run April 1 through October 31, making this window the most comfortable for camping. Spring wildflowers and fall foliage draw visitors in shoulder seasons, though water access drops to a single spigot from November to mid-April. Weekend crowds peak June through August. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through occasionally in summer. Winter camping is possible but expect freezing temperatures, precipitation, and minimal services.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
