Best Time to Camp at Canton Creek Campground

Summer brings warm, pleasant days perfect for river activities, though you may occasionally hear the distant hum of logging operations echoing through the forest—a reminder of the region's working landscape. As autumn arrives, the campground transforms into a photographer's paradise with vibrant fall colors. Winter visitors should come prepared for the Pacific Northwest's signature heavy rains and possible snow, which transform the landscape into a misty, moss-draped wonderland.
