Best Time to Camp at Lafayette Place Campground
Experience the full drama of New England's seasons at Lafayette Place, where each month brings its own magic. Summer arrives with warm, sun-dappled days perfect for hiking, punctuated by refreshing afternoon showers that keep the forest lush and streams flowing. As autumn approaches, the campground transforms into a front-row seat for one of nature's greatest shows—the legendary fall foliage display that paints the mountainsides in brilliant golds, crimsons, and burnt oranges. Winter blankets the landscape in pristine snow, creating a wonderland for the hardy souls who embrace cold-weather camping. Spring emerges with wildflowers and rushing waterfalls, offering solitude and renewal.
Warm, sun-dappled days ideal for hiking; lakes nearby and full-season amenities during peak months.
Fall foliage season is particularly popular; reviews repeatedly praise the scenic autumn colors.
Seasonal opening is late-May; spring can be variable with limited staffed facilities early season.
Winter camping accessible and near ski area, but facilities and staffing are limited off-season.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: Late May to early October.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Late-May through early-October for reserved camping with full staffing. Off-season camping available year-round with limited facilities.
