Best Time to Camp at Boulder Flat Campground

During peak season, Mother Nature crafts the perfect outdoor playground with refreshingly cool temperatures hovering between 47°F days and crisp 33°F nights. While rain showers occasionally sweep through this temperate paradise, visitors enjoy blue skies nearly a third of the time, creating ideal conditions for both river adventures and cozy campfire evenings. As autumn transitions to winter, the campground transforms into a quieter retreat where dedicated outdoor enthusiasts embrace the solitude of colder temperatures and the dramatic beauty of mixed precipitation painting the landscape.
