Best Time to Camp at Lebaron Campground
At LeBaron, summer nights tell a different story than the warm, sun-drenched days. Even in July, Mother Nature keeps campers on their toes with the possibility of snowflakes dancing through morning air and temperatures that plunge well below freezing after sunset. This dramatic temperature swing creates a unique high-altitude experience where shorts and t-shirts give way to fleece jackets and warm sleeping bags as stars emerge in the crisp mountain sky. The thin, dry air and unpredictable weather patterns remind visitors they're truly in the realm of the peaks.
Spring (Mar-May)
Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.
Best
Summer (Jun-Aug)

Weather and SeasonsAt LeBaron, summer nights tell a different story than the warm, sun-drenched days. Even in July, Mother Nature keeps campers on their toes with the possibility of snowflakes dancing through morning air and temperatures that plunge well below freezing after sunset. This dramatic temperature swing creates a unique high-altitude experience where shorts and t-shirts give way to fleece jackets and warm sleeping bags as stars emerge in the crisp mountain sky. The thin, dry air and unpredictable weather patterns remind visitors they're truly in the realm of the peaks.
ElevationPerched at a breathtaking 9,900 feet above sea level, LeBaron Campground sits just shy of the two-mile mark in the sky. This lofty altitude transforms every activity into an adventure, where the thin mountain air adds an extra challenge to morning hikes and evening campfire conversations. Visitors often find themselves catching their breath more frequently during the first day or two as their bodies adjust to the elevation. The reward for this adjustment period? Crisp, pure air and proximity to some of Utah's most spectacular high-country landscapes.
Natural Features and SceneryA living cathedral of quaking aspens and towering conifers creates a natural amphitheater around LeBaron Campground, where dappled sunlight filters through branches to paint shifting patterns on the forest floor. This verdant canopy provides welcome shade during warm afternoons and frames spectacular mountain vistas that stretch for miles. The campground pulses with wildlife activity—from majestic elk bugling at dawn to black bears foraging for berries, while elusive mountain goats navigate rocky outcrops above treeline. Lucky visitors might catch glimpses of moose browsing in nearby meadows or spot the silent passage of a cougar at twilight.
Geological RegionDeep within the heart of Fishlake National Forest, LeBaron Campground claims its place as a true high-mountain retreat where ancient geological forces have sculpted a landscape of dramatic peaks and hidden valleys. At 9,900 feet, this alpine ecosystem represents millions of years of mountain building, where volcanic activity and glacial carving created the perfect canvas for today's dense forests of aspen and conifer. The campground sits at the intersection of several distinct ecological zones, making it a fascinating outdoor classroom for those interested in mountain geology and forest ecology.
