Best Time to Camp at Myrtle Grove Campground

Experience the dynamic personality of the Oregon wilderness as seasons paint Myrtle Grove in different hues. Summer transforms the campground into a sun-dappled paradise, with warm temperatures perfect for refreshing dips in the river's crystal-clear swimming holes. As autumn arrives, the forest erupts in golden colors, while winter brings a quieter charm—though adventurous souls should verify road conditions before embarking on cold-weather camping expeditions. Spring awakens the forest with wildflowers and rushing waters from mountain snowmelt.
