Best Time to Camp at Skull Creek
At Skull Creek, Mother Nature keeps things interesting with refreshingly cool temperatures that provide welcome relief from summer heat. Don't be surprised if you experience four seasons in a single day – morning sunshine might give way to afternoon hail, and yes, even light summer snow flurries have been known to dust the pines. These crisp mountain conditions and dramatically changing skies create an ever-shifting canvas that makes each visit unique.
Peak season; cooler shaded sites ideal for escaping heat; boating/fishing available nearby.
Open through Sept 17; aspen and pine setting suggests strong early-fall scenery, but season short.
Opens May 15; cooler temps and possible late-season snow/hail can affect activities early in season.
Campground season is May 15–Sept 17; winter season closed for reservations per overview.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: Peak season runs from May 15 to September 17.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Season opens May 15 and closes September 17 for reservations. It operates as a dry campground during this period.
