Best Time to Camp at Puma Campground

From April through October, Puma comes alive with full facilities and families ready for lake season—think sun-soaked days on the water and evenings around the campfire. Summer is peak season for good reason, but savvy campers know that early fall is when this place really shines: the bluffs explode in autumn color, the crowds thin out, and you'll score better rates to boot. Winter camping is available for those who embrace the quiet and don't mind trading hot showers for solitude and off-season prices.
