Labor Day Weekend is the Best Time of Year for Camping

If you are looking for a Free National Forest Camping spot; USFS Sno-parks are a great candidate. Sno-parks use is free this time of year and the weather is great.
 
Late summer camping has other benefits:
  • Mosquitoes are all but gone.
  • Hot sunny days & cool nights.
  • Fall colors.
  • Fat fish, the fish stocked in the spring are fat and tasty.
 
National Forest Sno-parks are located in the Cascade Mountain Range in WA & OR and in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in CA.
 
Hikers and backpackers can pick up snowmobile and cross country ski trail maps at the USFS ranger station. If hiking off trails in wilderness areas, hikers should be equipped with handheld GPS units to avoid getting lost.
