Winthrop

The campsite is right by the forest road. Fire restrictions are in place for the summer months, so no campfires. Quite a few mosquitos do bring spray or other repellant types.

How do I make reservations for Sullivan Pond Campground?

Sullivan Pond Camp doesn't have a reservation system. It's a dispersed camping area that operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The campground has only a few spaces available, so arriving early, especially during peak seasons, is recommended to secure a spot.

What is the best time of year to camp at Sullivan Pond?

Late spring through early fall is generally the best time to camp at Sullivan Pond, with late spring (May-June) being particularly beautiful when wildflowers are in bloom. Summer camping is popular but comes with some considerations: fire restrictions are typically in place during summer months, and mosquitoes can be numerous (bring repellent). The area may be difficult to access in winter or during wet periods as the access road requires 4WD vehicles with good clearance. Fall likely offers pleasant temperatures with fewer insects, making it an excellent alternative to peak summer season.
