Features: stunning mountain and lake backdrops, stunning poppy flowers at the Box Elder campgrounds between June 7 – June 21 (varies season to season). If photos are desired to be taken in Mantua with the poppy flowers, I only do them at sunrise. Sunrise is best and often times we are the only people there. I can start in the poppy fields as early as 6 am or as late as 7:30 am. The temperature in Mantua during a June morning is generally 45 – 55 degrees. Dress warmer for a morning session here.

Throughout the spring and summer months, Box Elder Campground is adorned with a vibrant display of wildflowers and lush greenery. Photographers can get up close and personal with these delicate blooms, capturing the intricate details and colors that abound in the meadows and along the trails. Macro photography enthusiasts will find a wealth of subjects to explore, from the tiniest petals to the intricacies of leaves and insects. The Mantua Poppy Flowers typically bloom from late spring to early summer, blanketing the fields and hillsides with a sea of dazzling colors. As the weather warms, the poppies burst forth in full bloom, adding a burst of vibrancy to the surrounding greenery. The sight of these delicate yet resilient flowers is a delightful reminder that nature is truly an artist, transforming the landscape into an enchanting work of art.
