Best season: summer. Summer offers the most reliable warm weather and full access to Spivey Cove’s back-to-basics camping — expect daytime highs typically in the mid-70s to mid-80s F and nighttime lows in the 50s to low 60s, making evenings comfortable for campfires and stargazing. With trees in full leaf and long daylight hours, this is peak time for tent camping, short hikes from camp, and relaxed evenings at your site; weekends can be moderately busy due to the first-come, first-served system, so arrive early for Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: December, January, February
