Best Time to Camp at Susan Creek Campground

Experience the Pacific Northwest's dramatic seasonal tapestry at Susan Creek. Spring arrives with gentle rains that awaken the forest floor, while summer transforms the campground into a sun-dappled paradise perfect for river adventures. Autumn paints the landscape in brilliant golds and crimsons as crisp mountain air signals cozy campfire evenings. Winter brings its own quiet beauty, though rain and cold temperatures may limit access—a time when the forest returns to its most primitive state.
