Autumn Camping is Awesome Camping!


As summer winds down, and the autumn season begins, and that means it’s time to go autumn camping! Why not enjoy the fall foliage, fun fall festivals, and more! Here are few examples of awesome autumn camping and RVing adventures that await you!

Tailgate at Football Games & other sporting events! Whether you’re a Steelers fan, a Penn State fan (or other college team fan), or a local high school soccer team fan, or race fan, don’t forget to take your RV. It’s a great place to grill dogs and sit relax before or after the big game. And if you’re drinking, why risk driving? Tail gate at the game and spend the night. It’s safer and a lot more fun!

Attend Fall Festivals! There are Autumn Leaf Festivals, Applefests, Pumpkin Fests, and more! So if you haven’t been camping or RVing and attended one of these great local autumn events, the only question remaining is, why not? The festivals are fun, and it lengthens your camping season!

How about bird or game watching! That's right autumn is a great time to visit the PA Wilds and see the PA Elk Herd, or go bird watching at any of the PA state and county parks or nation refuges! You've not experienced life if you haven't seen a bull elk bugle! Make sure it makes your bucket list!

The Price is Right! Off season camping generally means off season (lower) rates! You save money when you camp in the off season! And because demand for those sites are lower, the campgrounds are less busy (except for special event weekends), which means you get a quiet, more relaxing, camping atmosphere!

The Weather Is Good! Ahhh, the cool evenings make a campfire all that more enjoyable. Enjoy a cup of spiced apple cider, a hotdog, s'mores and a camper pie by the campfire on a cool autumn evening. There’s nothing like it! And is it just me, or does everything taste better over that autumn campfire?

Attend Special Event Weekends! Many private campgrounds provide special event weekends during the autumn months to draw in more campers and RVers! Why not take the kids to a Halloween Weekend filled with trick or treat, costume and campsite decorating contests complete with a Sunday breakfast? Or, attend a Pumpkin Fest Weekend with roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin carving and other pumpkin themed activities? Or, take them on a hike through a campground haunt? It's a lot of fun and will make memories that last a lifetime!

The Fall Foliage Peak Is In Early October! The fall foliage is usually at its peak the first and second weeks in October. Why not choose a campground that is centrally located to the area where you’d like to foliage sight-see, and do some foliage gazing in the area around your base camp! Don’t forget your camera!
Autumn Star Gazing Is Awesome! If you’re a star gazer, you already know that late summer and early fall give rise to some awesome planetary and star gazing opportunities. If you aren’t a star gazer, now is as good of time to start as any! So look up and learn! And don’t forget that star gazing at a campout equals a trip to the local planetarium! So the kids can learn about the stars right there at your campsite!

There are lots of fun special event weekends, fall festivals, football games, stars, and fall foliage to see! All of these great camping & RVing adventures await you! Go camping or RVing and explore the world around you!
