Best Time to Camp at Willow Prairie Horsecamp

From May through October, Willow Prairie basks in the perfect riding weather, with moderate temperatures that keep both horses and riders comfortable on the trails. Morning mists give way to sunny afternoons, while cool evenings invite storytelling around the campfire. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-dusted wonderland, though deep accumulations typically close access to preserve the tranquil beauty until spring's return.
