Best Time to Camp at China Meadows Campground

Experience the dramatic seasonal transformation of China Meadows, where each time of year paints the landscape in different hues. Winter blankets the campground in deep snow and brings bone-chilling temperatures that transform the area into a frozen wonderland. As spring melts into summer, the forest awakens with wildflowers and warm sunshine, creating ideal conditions for camping from late May through early October. The notably dry mountain air and predominantly clear skies during peak season make for spectacular stargazing and comfortable hiking conditions.
