Best Time to Camp at Haag Cove Campground

Experience the full spectrum of Pacific Northwest seasons at Haag Cove. Summer transforms the campground into a sun-drenched paradise where daytime temperatures climb into the inviting 90s, perfect for swimming and water activities, before cooling to a comfortable 50 degrees for starlit evenings around the campfire. Be prepared for nature's smaller residents during peak season. Spring and fall paint the landscape with changing colors and bring refreshingly unpredictable weather that keeps each day interesting. Winter visitors discover a different kind of beauty, with crisp air and the possibility of snow dusting the pines and creating a wonderland along the usually bustling shoreline.
