Best Time to Camp at Willow Beach Campground (Lake Mohave)

The desert sun reigns supreme here, particularly during summer months when temperatures soar beyond 113°F, creating an intense, almost otherworldly heat that challenges even seasoned adventurers. As one tent camper wisely noted, 'If you are tent camping in the summer, be prepared.' Winter transforms this landscape into a camper's dream, with cooler temperatures creating ideal conditions for outdoor exploration and comfortable nights under star-filled skies.

Summer(Jun-Aug)

2.0 / 5

Summer temps can exceed 113°F, making tent camping and daytime activities challenging.

Best

4.0 / 5

Best

Spring(Mar-May)

Winter(Dec-Feb)

3.0 / 5

Winters mild for desert camping but water can be cold; not a winter-activity destination.

The surrounding desert and mountain landscapes create a stunning amphitheater of natural beauty that shifts with the changing light throughout the day. Keep your camera ready for encounters with the local residents – desert cottontails darting between creosote bushes, coveys of quail scurrying across trails, and yes, the occasional rattlesnake reminding visitors that this is still wild country deserving of respect and awareness.

Here, the eternal Colorado River continues its ancient work, flowing through the depths of Black Canyon while towering mountains and sprawling desert vistas stretch endlessly in every direction, creating a landscape that tells the story of millions of years of geological artistry.
