Best Time to Camp at Reservoir Campground

Experience the dramatic seasonal tapestry of the high country, where each season paints the landscape with its own palette. Summer transforms the campground into an alpine paradise, with comfortable 78°F days perfect for exploration and cool nights ideal for campfire stories. As autumn arrives, the transitional weather creates stunning displays while winter blankets the area in deep snow, with temperatures plunging to a brisk 12°F and weekly snowfalls reaching 4 inches. Spring emerges with a mix of rain and late snow, gradually revealing wildflower meadows and rushing streams fed by snowmelt.
