Best Time to Camp at Sutton Campground

Experience the raw beauty of Oregon's coastal seasons at Sutton. Winter arrives with dramatic storms and refreshing rains, transforming the forest into a mystical wonderland—though you'll want to pack your rain gear and embrace the elements. As spring emerges, so do the mosquitos, reminding visitors to come prepared. Summer rewards patient campers with golden days perfect for exploration, though morning fog often rolls in like a gentle blanket, creating ethereal landscapes that photographers dream about.
