The best time to camp at Wolf Creek Pass is during late spring through early fall, typically June through September, when the mountain weather is most favorable. Summer offers beautiful conditions with the aspen and pine forests in full bloom, though be aware that biting flies can be an issue during the warmer months, particularly around July. Fall camping provides the opportunity to experience the stunning aspen color changes. The high elevation means camping outside this window may be challenging due to snow and cold temperatures.
