Best Time to Camp at Potholes State Park
The area is high desert: warm to hot in summer with cool breezes, and chilly nights in shoulder seasons (visitors advise extra blankets before June). Mosquito and biting-fly activity peaks in spring and early summer; off-season visits are reported as quieter and more peaceful.
Warm summers are ideal for boating/fishing; RV loops and docks are in full use despite some bugs.
Cooler shoulder season with migrations, good birdwatching and fewer insects.
Excellent bird migration but severe mosquitoes/biting flies peak in spring, reducing enjoyment.
Chilly nights and limited activities; some migrating waterfowl but few winter recreation options.
