Weather and SeasonsBest season: summer. Summer offers the clearest access and the best riding conditions — trails are dry, daylight is long, and the campground is open (first-come/reservable) from late June through September. Expect daytime highs roughly in the mid-60s to low-80s°F (18–28°C) and cool nights in the 40s–50s°F (5–12°C), ideal for horse trailers and overnight fires. Equestrian activities, multi-day loop rides, and star-filled evenings are at their peak; the site remains intimate (only three sites) so weekends see modestly
Peak months: July, August, June, September
Avoid: October, November, December, January
