Best Time to Camp at Badger Campground

Badger Campground welcomes visitors from April through October, with each season painting a different picture. Summer brings warm, humid days perfect for cooling off in the lake, though you'll share the experience with fellow campers during this popular season. Spring and fall are the hidden gems—mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and in autumn, a spectacular show as the hardwood forest ignites in reds, oranges, and golds. Winter sees the campground quieting down, with some loops closing as temperatures drop and the park takes its seasonal rest.
