Best Time to Camp at Almont

Summer brings mid-60s to upper-70s during the day and 30s to 40s at night, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. This is when fishing runs clear and wildlife viewing peaks with long daylight hours. October temperatures can drop to 15°F, creating harsh conditions that keep the small campground quiet. Winter camping is free but demands serious cold-weather gear. Mosquitoes thrive near the river during warmer months, so pack repellent.
