Best Time to Camp at Edgewater Campground

Summer transforms Edgewater into a sun-drenched paradise, with crystal-clear skies and comfortable temperatures inviting endless outdoor pursuits during peak camping season. As autumn arrives, the forest erupts in golden hues before winter wraps the landscape in a pristine blanket of snow. With winter temperatures hovering around 26°F and frequent snowfall, the colder months offer a dramatically different but equally beautiful perspective of this riverside retreat.
