Why May is the Best Time to Camp at Snow Lake 🌤️

Spring in Michigan is pure magic. May offers the perfect blend of warm daytime temps and cool, cozy evenings, ideal for swimming by day and bundling up by the fire at night. Plus, early-season stays give you a front-row seat to nature waking up — fresh blooms, chirping birds, and fewer bugs!

Planning ahead? June and July fill up quickly, so if you fall in love with the May vibes, consider an early return visit before summer’s peak!

What to Pack for a May Getaway

  • Sunscreen & Hats – The sun’s back, and it’s strong!
  • Swimsuits & Towels – Pool + lake = water fun
  • Hiking Shoes – Explore nearby scenic trails
  • Camp Chairs – For picnics, campfires, and porch-sitting
  • Firewood & S’mores Supplies – No camp trip is complete without marshmallows
