Best Time to Camp at Graham Corral Horse Campground

Experience the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest's changing moods, where dramatic rainstorms sweep through the forest canopy before giving way to crisp, clear days. During the cooler months, temperatures dance between a brisk 35°F and a comfortable 49°F, creating perfect conditions for invigorating rides through mist-kissed forests. When the rains subside, dry air and gentle breezes create ideal camping weather that beckons riders to explore the vast network of trails stretching in every direction.
