Best Time to Camp at Kents Lake Campground

Summer brings the perfect alpine climate to Kents Lake, where sun-drenched days give way to crisp, star-filled nights that call for campfire stories and cozy sleeping bags. The high elevation keeps temperatures refreshingly mild even in July and August, though Mother Nature occasionally reminds visitors of her mountain moods with dramatic afternoon thunderstorms or surprise hail showers that add excitement to any adventure. As autumn approaches, the aspens burst into golden flames before winter's deep snows transform the landscape into an inaccessible wonderland.
