When to go
The ideal time to visit Burlingame State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months bring warmth and a full bloom of park life, but also larger crowds. Winters can be brisk, offering a quiet, frosty landscape for those who prefer solitude. Avoid holiday weekends if you're looking for a peaceful retreat.
