Best Time to Camp at Ambleside Regional Natural Crup Campground

Open year-round, Ambleside transforms with each season—summer's warm trails, autumn's spawning salmon, winter's misty mornings, spring's explosive greenery. Gates and facilities operate on seasonal schedules, and spring runoff can temporarily close trails and equestrian areas when the river flexes its power. A quick check of current conditions before you arrive ensures you'll catch this natural gem at its best.
