What is the climate like in Salinas for camping and outdoor activities?

Salinas has a mild climate that makes camping and outdoor adventure possible year-round. Winter visitors should prepare for the possibility of rain, fog, and cooler temperatures, but it can be a great time of year to get typically crowded parks and attractions all to yourself. Summer reservations in Big Sur book up far in advance. If planning to go camping in summer, Salinas has an annual rodeo and Steinbeck Festival to check out.
