Best Time to Camp at Oliver Lee Memorial
Each season brings its own personality to this high desert oasis. Winter nights demand cozy sleeping bags as temperatures dip to a crisp 30°F, while afternoon sun warms the rocks to a pleasant 50°F. Summer transforms the landscape into a sun-drenched sanctuary where temperatures dance between 90°F and 95°F, perfect for early morning hikes and lazy afternoon siestas in the shade. But it's the shoulder seasons that truly shine here – spring and fall deliver crystalline skies and goldilocks temperatures that make every outdoor moment feel like a gift.
Summer can be hot and windy; reviewers note summer is less comfortable for hiking.
Milder temperatures and good hiking conditions make fall a solid season.
Spring brings cactus blooms and pleasant temps; highlighted as a top season for the park.
Open year-round; reviewers prefer cooler winter hiking though nights are chilly (~30°F).
