Best Time to Camp at Friend Park Campground
Experience the dramatic seasonal transformations of the high country at Friend Park. Summer brings gloriously mild days under crystal-clear Wyoming skies, with refreshing mountain breezes and the occasional afternoon shower to cool the landscape. As autumn arrives, the forest erupts in golden hues before winter's heavy snows blanket the area, closing access roads from November through mid-May and transforming the campground into a pristine winter wonderland accessible only to the most adventurous souls.
Summer favored: mild days, clear skies, full access June–Labor Day; reviews prefer summer trips.
Open through October; high-country seasonal color but colder and access can become tricky.
Spring access limited by snowmelt and unmaintained roads; campground opens in June.
Campground not generally accessible in winter; roads unmaintained and closed seasonally.
Planning Tips
- Operating Season: Open season is June through October, with full access between June 1 and Labor Day.
- Current Alerts: Road construction on Bear Creek Road is scheduled from July 17, 2024, for at least 30 days, with heavy truck traffic expected.
