Best Time to Camp at Foggy Dew Campground

Four distinct seasons paint Foggy Dew in dramatically different palettes. Spring arrives with gentle rains and cool mornings that awaken wildflowers from winter slumber. Summer transforms the campground into a sun-dappled retreat where temperatures climb to the pleasant mid-80s—perfect for creek exploration and afternoon naps in the shade. Autumn brings a spectacular show as aspens turn golden and crisp air hints at the changes ahead. Winter blankets everything in snow and silence, creating a frozen wonderland for the hardy souls who venture here when temperatures plunge.

About Foggy Dew Campground

Nestled where two mountain creeks converge, Foggy Dew Campground beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its dual personality. Choose your adventure: claim a creekside site where rushing water provides nature's soundtrack and towering trees create intimate havens, or settle into the more spacious sites perfect for RV adventurers seeking easier access. Each campsite comes equipped with its own picnic table and grill, ready for memorable meals under the stars. While vault toilets ensure basic comfort, this back-to-nature experience means packing in your own water and packing out everything you bring—a small price for such pristine wilderness.
Foggy Dew Campground accommodates tent and small recreational vehicles, with minimal facilities suitable for primitive camping and no designated RV sites.
