Best Time to Camp at Butterfly Campground

Experience the magic of mountain summers where daytime temperatures hover between a comfortable 65-75°F, perfect for hiking and lake activities, before cooling to a crisp 40-50°F under star-filled skies. Due to its lofty perch at 10,300 feet, winter's embrace typically closes access to this alpine sanctuary, making summer and early fall your window to this high-country paradise.

Best
Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Open May 30–Sept 1; summer temps (65–75°F) ideal for hiking, paddling and wildflowers.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
3.0 / 5

Open into early Sept; likely good views but season is short and cooling weather limits activities.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Opens May 30 so late-spring window is short; some wildflower/early-season use possible.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
Not recommended

Campground closed outside May 30–Sept 1; winter use not supported.

Planning Tips
  • Peak Season: May 30 to September 1.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
  • Operating Season: Open season runs from May 30 to September 1, with reservations starting on June 24.
