The campground is open from May to September and operates on a first-come-first-serve basis outside of this period.
An interesting fact about the area is that the name "Tilley" is derived from the Tilley family, who were early settlers in the area. The family operated a sawmill and logging operation in the region for many years.
The best time to visit Tilley Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures are mild and the weather is pleasant. Average temperatures during this time range from 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drop to the 40s at night. However, visitors should be aware that thunderstorms are common during the summer months, so it's important to be prepared for inclement weather.
