Best Time to Camp at Cougar Crossing Campground
Winter transforms Cougar Crossing into a quiet wonderland where temperatures dance between a crisp 35°F and mild 48°F. Nature's artistry paints the landscape with up to 2.9 inches of delicate snowfall, while Pacific Northwest rains create a symphony on the forest canopy. During these magical winter months, the campground becomes a peaceful retreat for hardy souls, though icy conditions may challenge access roads. Visitors should come prepared for the mountain's moody weather patterns and check conditions before embarking on their winter camping adventure.
Summer is popular, shaded sites and easy recreational access make it a strong season.
Fall likely scenic and pleasant; fewer explicit reviews but PNW foliage and views imply high appeal.
Spring likely pleasant with flowing river and reservoir access, but road/conditions can be variable.
Open year-round but Forest Road 19 access may be limited by snow/ice; winter visits are more difficult.
Planning Tips
- Operating Season: Open year-round, but winter access via Forest Road 19 may be limited due to snow and ice.
