Fall is one of the best times of year to get out to the campground with your family. Although many campers take the majority of their camping trips during the spring and summer because the kids are out of school, fall is an excellent time to take your family to the campground. The cooler temperatures and smaller crowds are just a few reasons that traveling in the fall is a great choice. Check out our RV tips for improving your fall camping trip below.
Look for Off-Season Discounts
One of the best things about camping in the fall especially if you’re going late in the season is looking for deals at campgrounds for off-season camping. Some campgrounds will offer special discounts after the summer camping season to help make it more affordable for anyone considering camping in the fall.
Pack in Layers
The fluctuating temperatures mean you must pack for any weather conditions no matter where you are planning to go. We recommend taking along sweatshirts for the chilly mornings at the campground, as well as something more lightweight to wear while hiking during the day. Don’t forget to bring plenty of warm blankets and cozy things or evenings around the campfire.
Get Moving in the Morning
One of the best ways to ward off the morning chill during your fall camping trip is to get up and get moving. We recommend taking a morning hike with your family first thing to get your blood pumping and start your morning off right.
Visit a State or National Park
If you don’t know where to visit during the fall, check out a local state or national park. These destinations have smaller crowds during the fall, so you can enjoy getting glimpse of the fall colors seeing the local wildlife and getting a great campsite for your family vacation without all of the crowds.
Plan for Rain
Lastly, another result of the fluctuating temperatures is an increased chance for rain. If you are typically a spring camper, this will not be new to you, but fall is a pretty rainy season for most climates, so be sure you plan ahead for things to do inside your RV, as well as bring plenty of rain gear to keep your equipment and yourself dry.
