Best Time to Camp at Balmorhea State Park
Experience the dramatic beauty of desert seasons, where summer days blaze with temperatures climbing into the mid-90s°F, perfect for plunging into the perpetually cool 74°F spring waters. Winter brings gentle relief with temperatures settling into the comfortable mid-40s°F, creating ideal conditions for exploring the surrounding landscape. No matter when you visit, the spring-fed pool maintains its inviting 74°F temperature, offering year-round aquatic adventures.
Summer is peak season: hot days but perfect for plunging into the cool 74°F spring; crowded/reserve ahead.
Milder temperatures and good water access; fewer crowds than summer.
Pleasant temps and active wildlife; good time for visits with less extreme heat than summer.
Day-use open year-round and quieter in winter, but cooler air may limit activities; camping under renovation.
