Best Time to Camp at Strawberry Bay

Summer at Strawberry Bay follows nature's daily rhythm—mornings arrive crisp and still, perfect for early anglers before the afternoon winds sweep across the reservoir, transforming glassy waters into whitecapped waves that challenge even seasoned boaters. Smart visitors plan their water activities before 11 AM, when the breeze typically picks up. Spring can surprise with its mountain moods, bringing everything from sudden snow squalls to bone-chilling winds that test your cold-weather gear. For those seeking solitude, autumn rewards with golden light, calmer conditions, and campgrounds blissfully free from summer crowds.
