How Crowded Is Fort Frederica National Monument in November?

November runs about 0.8× Fort Frederica National Monument's average month, which makes it a quiet month here — roughly 7% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees about 14,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes November the 10th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the March peak (1.3×) and the September low (0.8×).

On our Best Time to Visit score November rates 77/100 ("Excellent") — the single best-rated month at Fort Frederica, balancing crowds against weather and daylight.

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 71°F and an overnight low around 53°F, with about 1.9" of precipitation.

That average of about 62°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day.

Because June, July and August together draw about 27% of annual visitors, choosing November instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 10.4 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 10-hour midwinter low and the 14-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2024 drew 243,027 recreation visits, down 15% from 286,017 in 2023.

Across the past decade overall visitation has risen about 9.3%, so a November visit is likely to feel busier than it did a few years ago.
