Best Time to Camp at Cranfield Park

Fall brings the best camping conditions, with daytime highs between 55 and 75°F and nighttime lows in the 40s and 50s. The oak and hickory canopy turns color from late September through October. Lake conditions calm down after summer, making boating and fishing more pleasant. Crowds thin after Labor Day. Summer hits 82°F during the day with 65°F evenings. Humidity runs high, though lake breezes help. Afternoon thunderstorms show up regularly in warm months.
