Best Time to Camp at Dumont Creek Campground

Four distinct seasons transform this riverside retreat throughout the year. Summer brings warm, sun-drenched days with temperatures climbing into the comfortable mid-80s—perfect for afternoon swims in the river's refreshing pools. As autumn arrives, crisp mornings give way to mild afternoons, while winter ushers in a quieter season with temperatures dipping into the low 30s and occasional dustings of snow that transform the landscape into a peaceful wonderland. Spring's arrival is marked by frequent rain showers that awaken the forest and fill the creek with rushing waters.
