Camping trips tend to be a summer activity. Children are out of school and parents are looking for a cheap and quick vacation. The fall, however, offers many exciting camping opportunities. There are many camp resorts that are open well into the fall months, some are even open all year long. Camping during the fall and winter months provides many advantages.
Less crowded campgrounds. Considering that most families take camping trips in the summer, campgrounds can become full quickly. They can even get crowded, making it difficult to utilize the camp resorts amenities. You may be required to wait for the campground shower, restroom facilities, and dining hall. Your camping accommodations may be uncomfortably close to the next families.
Camping during the fall and winter months provides families with more privacy and opportunity to use the campground?s amenities. Most camping, about 70% is done in public campgrounds, and your family will be convinced to make this a yearly event after they experience family campgrounds.
The beautiful fall colors for wooded campgrounds. The summer provides campers with warm weather. You are also surrounded by large green trees. The fall, however, can be unique because of the wooded campgrounds colors. If you visit a campground in one of the season changing states, you will get to experience all of the beautiful colors of fall. An early fall camping trip can be an unforgettable experience.
Unique camping opportunities. Activities such as swimming and water sports may be reserved to summer camping, but fall camping provides its own unique set of activities. Hiking and sightseeing are perfect activities for fall camping in the wooded campgrounds. 87% of campers participated in multiple outdoor activities. Fall camping trips do not reduce the amount of activities that you can participate in much. Also, campers can travel longer distances to warmer weather to find campgrounds with a pool for year round use. Campgrounds near a lake can still provide campers with fishing and sightseeing, even in the colder months. In fact, ice fishing is a popular camping activity in the winter months.
Unique campgrounds. There are thousands of campgrounds across the country. They each provide different sights and activities. Families can base their camping trip on the specific campground they visit, or they can choose a campground that will provide them with the perfect camping trip. While wooded campgrounds are perfect for late night bon fires and warmth, campgrounds closer to the water are better for enjoying the lake.
Campers travelled an average distance of 186.7 miles for camping trips. The traveling may even be made easier if your family chooses to travel in a recreational vehicle. You can make frequent stops, even sleeping in your RV. Also, families are more comfortable over long drives when they have access to kitchen needs and bathroom needs, right inside of their recreational vehicle.
A great break from busy schedules. Summer is considered the relaxing season. Many people have breaks from school or work. The fall is the start of a hectic school and work season. Most people do not take another vacation until the following summer. The fall, however, can provide families with a much needed break, allowing them to transition into busy schedules easier. If you are able to get away for a fall camping trip, it is sure to leave you relaxed and ready to take on a busy year.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans participate in camping vacations. Camping is a great activity to bond with family members. However, most camping trips take place in the summer months. Many do not even realize that camping can be just as exciting in the fall and winter months. The views are unique and the activities are fun. Wooded campgrounds in the fall weather offers a unique camping experience that you and your family members are sure to never forget.
