Best Time to Camp at Group Tenting Campground

The campground welcomes groups from April through October, when water hookups flow and hot showers await after long trail days. Summer brings warm river temps perfect for swimming between paddles, though spring and fall might just steal your heart with their hiking-friendly weather and smaller crowds. Time your trip right and you'll catch ranger-led cave tours and interpretive programs that reveal the park's secrets—from how these caverns formed to which creatures call them home.
