Best Time to Camp at Tony Grove Campground

Summer arrives late and leaves early at this mountain sanctuary, with June through September offering perfect camping conditions under star-filled skies and comfortable daytime temperatures. As autumn approaches, golden aspens create a stunning contrast against evergreen forests, while winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland that remains inaccessible to all but the most intrepid winter adventurers.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
3.5 / 5

Open early Sept–Oct; quieter with autumn color but wildflowers and many services are gone.

Spring(Mar-May)
2.0 / 5

Late snowpack keeps site opening to late June; spring conditions are marginal for camping.
