Best Time to Camp at Pearrygin Lake State Park

Summer transforms Pearrygin Lake into a bustling water playground, with warm temperatures heating the lake to comfortable swimming levels and boats creating a steady hum of activity from morning to evening. If you're seeking a more tranquil experience, consider visiting during spring or fall when the crowds thin out, the lake quiets down, and you can truly soak in the peaceful mountain scenery. The shoulder seasons offer a completely different vibe—more space to breathe, easier access to facilities, and the kind of serenity that makes you remember why you love camping in the first place.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Peak season for swimming, boating and warm water; lively atmosphere and full facilities.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Shoulder season likely offers good weather, scenery and fewer crowds (implied by summer crowding).

Best
Spring(Mar-May)
4.0 / 5
Top 23% in WA

Spring wildflowers and milder crowds make it appealing (wildflowers and seasonal notes exist).

Winter(Dec-Feb)
2.0 / 5

Park is primarily a summer lake destination; limited winter activities mentioned.
