Best Time to Camp at Oak Grove Campground

Oak Grove basks in remarkably clear skies nearly 80% of the time, creating perfect conditions for stargazing and photography. While winter temperatures can dip to a crisp 21.5°F, transforming the canyon into a crystalline wonderland, most visitors find the sweet spot in late spring through fall. During these months, daytime temperatures hover in the comfortable 40s and beyond, ideal for hiking the rim trails or simply relaxing by your tent with a good book. The dry climate means you can count on your plans – rain rarely interrupts the desert's endless blue canvas overhead.
