Best Time to Camp at Sheep Mountain Fire Lookout
Summer in this sky-high retreat brings crisp mountain air with daytime temperatures hovering around a comfortable 70°F, perfect for outdoor adventures. But don't let the sunshine fool you—when darkness falls or thunderstorms roll across the peaks, temperatures can plummet to a brisk 30°F. The exposed summit location means you'll feel the mountain's raw power through frequent gusts of wind that sing through the tower's historic walls, reminding visitors they're truly living on the edge of the sky.
Open June 15–Oct 20; summer days ~70°F and are the most popular, best weather window.
Fall reviews are positive; October can be quieter and still offers great views.
Site closed in spring; reservations and stays not available until mid-June.
Site is closed outside June 15–Oct 20; winter season not available.
