Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Keep an eye on cancellation policies; sometimes last-minute openings can be your golden ticket.

When to go

The best time to visit Swan Lake State Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the lake invites you to swim. However, the park can get busy, so consider a spring or fall trip for a quieter experience. Winters are cold and may limit some activities.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and pack accordingly to ensure a comfortable visit.
  • Life jackets are recommended for all swimming activities, even with lifeguard supervision.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with facilities catering to visitors with disabilities.
  • Remember to bring your own charcoal or firewood for the grills and campfires.
