Best Time to Camp at White Ledge Campground

From late spring's awakening through early fall's golden finale, White Ledge basks in nature's most generous seasons. Gentle breezes carry the scent of pine while temperatures hover in that sweet spot perfect for afternoon hikes and evening campfires. As autumn's curtain falls, winter transforms the landscape into a crystalline wonderland, where snow blankets the forest floor and frost paints intricate patterns on every surface. These cooler months offer their own stark beauty, though most visitors choose to experience White Ledge during the warmer embrace of summer's long days and mild nights.
