Best Time to Camp at Cookson Bend
Spring awakens Cookson Bend with perfect camping weather, as wildflowers bloom across the hillsides and temperatures invite outdoor adventures. While winter brings crisp air with temperatures dipping between 33°F and 47°F, the moderate winds and generally dry conditions make for cozy campfire evenings. Early summer delivers those golden days that camping memories are made of—warm sunshine, gentle breezes, and ideal conditions for both water sports and hiking the surrounding trails.
Peak season with high use; reviewers report overcrowding and maintenance issues in summer.
Off‑peak and quieter; pleasant temperatures and peaceful stays reported in fall/off‑peak.
Described as 'perfect camping weather' with wildflowers and ideal temperatures in spring.
No regular winter reservations (Apr–Sep peak; Oct FCFS); little winter activity information.
