Best Time to Camp at Fremont Indian State Park

Experience the dramatic temperature swings of high desert camping, where crisp mornings in the 40s give way to sun-soaked afternoons reaching into the 90s during summer months. The crystalline skies that dominate this region create perfect conditions for stargazing, though the elevation means you'll feel the thin mountain air and should pack layers for those cool canyon evenings when temperatures plummet after sunset.

About Fremont Indian State Park

This remarkable archaeological treasure trove invites you to explore mysterious petroglyphs and pictographs left by the Fremont people centuries ago. After wandering the interpretive trails and discovering artifacts in the visitor center museum, you can choose between two distinct camping experiences: the convenience of Sam Stowe Campground with its full hookups, or the intimate canyon setting of Castle Rock Campground, where towering walls embrace your evening campfire.
