Best Time to Camp at Guinavah
Each season paints Guinavah in dramatic new colors. Spring arrives with vigor as snowmelt swells the Logan River, occasionally spilling over its banks in nature's annual renewal. Summer brings perfect camping weather with refreshingly moderate temperatures that make outdoor activities a joy rather than an endurance test. But it's autumn that truly steals the show—when the canyon erupts in a breathtaking display of gold, crimson, and amber that draws photographers and leaf-peepers from across the region.
Spring (Mar-May)
Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.
Best
Summer (Jun-Aug)
Peak season with warm days. Most facilities open. Reserve ahead.
Fall (Sep-Nov)
Beautiful fall colors, cooler temps, quieter campgrounds. Ideal for peaceful trips.
Winter (Dec-Feb)
Snow activities available. Some facilities may close. Check conditions.

About Guinavah
Nestled along the crystalline waters of the Logan River, Guinavah Campground beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its perfect blend of riverside adventure and forest tranquility. Here, anglers cast their lines into rushing waters, families float lazily downstream on summer afternoons, and hikers set off on scenic trails—all while enjoying the modern comforts of flush toilets and fresh drinking water. The campground's sites rest beneath a magnificent canopy of ancient black willows, creating cool, shaded retreats that feel worlds away from everyday life.
Guinavah Campground offers diverse accommodations, including single, double, and group sites, but does not provide cabins or glamping options. RV camping is somewhat restricted due to the limited size of some sites, and no utility hookups are available.
Historical SignificanceFor more than three decades, Guinavah has served as a cherished gathering place where memories are made and traditions are born. Generations of families have returned year after year for reunions beneath these same towering trees, sharing stories around campfires and introducing grandchildren to the same fishing holes their parents once discovered. This enduring campground has become woven into the fabric of countless family histories, making it not just a place to stay, but a destination where legacies continue.
Weather and SeasonsEach season paints Guinavah in dramatic new colors. Spring arrives with vigor as snowmelt swells the Logan River, occasionally spilling over its banks in nature's annual renewal. Summer brings perfect camping weather with refreshingly moderate temperatures that make outdoor activities a joy rather than an endurance test. But it's autumn that truly steals the show—when the canyon erupts in a breathtaking display of gold, crimson, and amber that draws photographers and leaf-peepers from across the region.
ElevationPerched at a comfortable moderate elevation within the embrace of Logan Canyon, Guinavah offers the best of mountain camping without the challenges of extreme altitude. This sweet spot provides cooler temperatures than the valley below while remaining accessible and comfortable for campers of all ages and fitness levels.
Natural Features and SceneryStep into a living cathedral where 75-year-old black willows stretch their gnarled branches skyward, their massive trunks telling stories of decades past. These gentle giants mingle with vibrant maples and stately oaks to create a multi-layered forest canopy that filters sunlight into dancing patterns on the ground below. The Logan River serves as the campground's liquid heartbeat, its melodic flow providing a constant soundtrack of tranquility while reflecting the surrounding forest in its clear waters.
Geological RegionLogan Canyon cradles Guinavah Campground in its ancient embrace, where geological forces have carved a spectacular corridor through the mountains. This scenic wonderland showcases nature's artistry through towering canyon walls, dense forests of black willow, maple, and oak, and the ever-present Logan River that has shaped this landscape over millennia. Renowned for its spectacular autumn displays, the canyon transforms into a natural amphitheater of color when fall arrives, making it one of the region's most photographed destinations.
