Summer is in full swing at Beaver Meadow Family Campground, and August is your golden hour for outdoor adventure, memory-making, and family fun. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or packing the tent for the first time, now’s the perfect time to unplug and enjoy the best that nature (and our campground) has to offer.
Campfires & S’mores Nights
Let’s be honest—camping without a campfire just isn’t the same. August evenings are ideal for gathering ’round the firepit, roasting marshmallows, and telling stories under the stars. Don’t forget the chocolate and graham crackers! Check out some fun S’more Recipes.
Explore the Trails & Wildlife
The trails around Beaver Meadow Family Campground are alive with birdsong and late-summer beauty. Take a morning hike, keep your eyes peeled for deer, and see if you can spot some monarch butterflies as they begin their migration.
Local August Events You Won’t Want to Miss
- Wyoming County Fair (Aug 9 – 16) – Rides, livestock shows, and classic fair food just a short drive away. Visit: wyomingcountyfairgrounds.org
- Stargazing Nights – The Perseid meteor shower peaks in mid-August. Grab a blanket, lay back, and make a wish or two.
Kid-Friendly Activities at the Campground
August is the time for memory-making. Bring a frisbee, a kite, or just your imagination—there’s always something fun to do between camp meals and hikes.
Chill Out & Soak It In
August brings long days and golden evenings, and sometimes, the best way to enjoy it is to just be. Grab a book, a hammock, or a cold drink and let the peaceful atmosphere do its thing.
Pro Tip: Want even more time to relax? Book a midweek stay to enjoy quieter surroundings and open trails.
