Best Time to Camp at Campbell Tree Grove Campground

Experience the rhythmic dance of Pacific Northwest weather, where misty mornings give way to dappled sunlight filtering through the dense canopy. Spring awakens the forest with vibrant wildflowers and rushing streams, while summer brings warm days perfect for exploration. Autumn transforms the understory into a painter's palette of golds and russets, and winter's gentle rains create a mystical atmosphere as fog weaves between ancient trunks. Pack layers and rain gear year-round to fully embrace this dynamic climate.
