Fall Camping

Fall Camping – the BEST Camping Season!

No matter where you are, fall is one of the best times for camping!  The evenings are cool, the days are beautiful!  If you’re in the northern part of the world you are blessed with a magnificent display of warm harvest colors, while those of youus in the southern part of the world are blessed with the renewal of a season of new growth and awesome beauty!

Lets get going!!!

Planning remains the key.  The main thing to consider is the variation in temperatures, and be ready for changes in the weather.  In other words pack extra clothes to keep warm!

• A three-season tent will keep you warm at night.  Be sure to close all openings to keep out any cool drafts and keep all body heat in.  Visit our page for selecting tents by clicking HERE.
• Take a sleeping bag designed to keep in body heat – one that closes up around the shoulders and your face.   Learn more about sleeping bags for the seasons by clicking HERE.
• Dress in layers of clothing.  Start with something fitting close but comfortable to your skin, like long underwear.  This will decrease the size of the air pockets next to your skin that you need to keep warm.   Layer so you can adjust based on the temps for that day or evening.  Be sure to bring a hat or stocking cap, as the head is one of the first places where we lose body heat.  Place the clothes you plan to wear tomorrow in your sleeping bag tonight so it will be warm when you dress. 

Keep up your energy with a hearty meal prepared in your camp kitchen or over the campfire.   Prepare food ahead of time to make the chore easier at the campsite.  And be sure to drink plenty of water, even though the temps may be cool!

With the right preparations and bringing the right camping gear the fall season can become your favorite time to go camping!
