Best Time to Camp at Madrone Cove Boat-In Campground
From April through October, Madrone Cove basks in California's signature warm-weather camping conditions, with sun-drenched days perfect for swimming and water sports. As summer deepens, the reservoir's water levels naturally recede, revealing hidden coves and secret beaches. Pack your bug spray for those balmy evenings when mosquitoes join the lakeside symphony of crickets and gentle lapping waves.
Open in summer; excellent for boating and water sports but mosquitoes and late low water noted.
Late summer/early fall see lower water levels and fire restrictions that reduce appeal.
Earlier season brings higher water levels and better overall conditions.
Campground closed in winter; open season Apr 15–Oct 15.
