Best Time to Camp at Seymour Creek Campground

Summer transforms Seymour Creek into a mountain paradise, with crystalline blue skies and pleasantly warm days hovering between 50°F and 77°F (10°C to 25°C). The dry mountain air and gentle pine-scented breezes make for perfect camping weather from June through September. As autumn arrives, the campground transitions into its winter slumber, with snow blanketing the forest floor and temperatures dipping well below freezing - a reminder of nature's seasonal rhythms at this mountain elevation.
