Best Time to Camp at Sulphur Campground

Summer days at Sulphur Campground unfold under brilliant blue skies, with crisp mountain air and pleasantly moderate temperatures that make for perfect hiking weather. But mountain weather has its own rhythms—afternoon thunderstorms roll through with dramatic flair, painting the sky with dark clouds before unleashing refreshing showers. These sudden downpours transform dirt roads into muddy pathways and fill the air with the sweet scent of rain on pine needles. Savvy campers pack rain gear and embrace these atmospheric interludes as part of the authentic mountain experience.
