Best Time to Camp at Lagoon Campground

Mother Nature paints this coastal paradise with a gentle brush year-round. Winter brings crisp mornings around 44°F warming to comfortable afternoons near 53°F—perfect for bundling up around the campfire. Summer unfolds with pleasant temperatures wrapped in mysterious morning fog that burns away to reveal sun-drenched dunes. Ocean breezes keep things refreshing, though adventurous spirits should note that mosquitoes join the party from April through August, making insect repellent as essential as your hiking boots.
