Best Time to Camp at Still Creek

From May through September, Still Creek transforms into a cool mountain refuge where summer takes on a gentler temperament. The dense forest canopy creates a natural air conditioning system, offering blessed relief from valley heat—though wise campers come prepared with bug spray for the mosquitos that thrive in this lush environment. Summer mornings often greet you with a delicate layer of dew sparkling on fern fronds, while the typically dry conditions make for perfect campfire evenings under a canopy of stars.

3.5 / 5

Open and popular May–Sep; cool shaded summer relief praised but mosquitoes and highway noise are frequent complaints.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Fall reviews are positive and foliage improves scenery; fewer mosquitoes likely but data is less detailed.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Late spring opening (May 23) shortens spring season; cooler temps and some snow patches mentioned.
