Best Time to Camp at Windy Camp Campground

Windy Camp lives up to its name with mountain breezes that whisper through the trees year-round. Winter wraps the campground in a pristine blanket of snow for much of the year, with temperatures dancing between crisp 20-degree highs and teen-degree lows that demand warm sleeping bags and hearty campfire conversations. When summer finally arrives, it brings a refreshing respite with cooler temperatures, crystal-clear skies, and dry conditions that create perfect windows for high-altitude camping adventures.

    About Windy Camp Campground

This intimate tent-only retreat features just two campsites, each thoughtfully equipped with a picnic table and fire ring where stories are shared under starlit skies. A single rustic toilet serves this peaceful escape, where the absence of trailer access ensures a tranquil atmosphere perfect for those who prefer canvas walls and sleeping bags to RV amenities.
