Best Time to Camp at Island Campground

Island Campground transforms with the seasons, offering distinct experiences throughout the year. Summer visitors are rewarded with nature's own air conditioning as towering trees provide welcome shade from the warm sun, creating perfect conditions for riverside relaxation. As autumn gives way to winter, the campground takes on a more rugged character—temperatures can dip to a crisp 36°F, and the possibility of rain or even snow adds an element of adventure. Early spring campers should pack layers and rain gear, ready to witness the forest's awakening amid variable conditions that showcase the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
