How Crowded Is Andersonville National Historic Site in March?

March runs about 1.3× Andersonville National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a busy month here — roughly 11% of the park's yearly visitors come in March.

In a typical March the park sees roughly 9,400 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes March the 2nd-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the May peak (1.5×) and the January low (0.6×).

On our Best Time to Visit score March rates 44/100 ("Poor"), versus the top-rated September at 68/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical March weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 70°F and an overnight low around 43°F, with about 4.7" of precipitation.

That average of about 56°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day.

Because June, July and August together draw about 23% of annual visitors, choosing March instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 11.8 hours of daylight in March to explore — between the 9.9-hour midwinter low and the 14.1-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 61,850 recreation visits, down 15.2% from 72,925 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 44.5%, so March may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
