Camping in Fall

Fall Is the Perfect Season for RV and Tent Camping

As summer days end, the allure of fall camping becomes impossible to ignore. Whether you're an RV Camper or Tent Camper, the fall season offers a ton of reasons to pack up and head out for a memorable outdoor adventure. With cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and all the natural beauty that autumn brings, fall is arguably the best time of year for a camping trip. Here’s why.

The Comfort of Cooler Temperatures

Summer camping in Mississippi often means contending with sweltering heat and humidity, which can make daytime activities exhausting and sleeping comfortably a challenge. This summer, we’ve dealt with some of the hottest sustained temperatures on record, and you may have decided to just wait to camp until it cooled down. I know that’s what we’ve heard from a lot of people.

In contrast, fall brings cooler, crisper air, making it much more comfortable to play outdoor games, kayak, fish, or simply relax by the fire. And let's not forget about the cozy nights wrapped up in a warm sleeping bag or blanket, savoring a cup of hot chocolate and eating s’mores while stargazing.

Fall Festival Fun

This Fall, Askew’s Landing RV Campground will host multiple fall-themed events and activities including our Halloween Party on October 27-29th and Fall Festival in November. You do not want to miss these events, as there will be food, fun games, decorations, time around the fire pit, and more! Bring your friends and family and come have a blast with us this fall.

Bird Watching in Fall

Birds are often more active during the fall as they prepare for the winter months, providing excellent opportunities for bird and wildlife watching. Many different bird types have been seen at Askew’s, including beautiful egrets and ducks.

Gearing Up for Fall

While fall camping offers numerous advantages, it does require some additional considerations in terms of gear. Layering is crucial as temperatures can fluctuate considerably between daytime and nighttime. Always pack some thermal wear, a good-quality sleeping bag suited for colder weather if you are tent camping, and possibly even a sleeping pad for added insulation from the cold ground for tent camping in late fall to early winter.

Wrapping Up

In conclusion, the autumn season offers an unparalleled combination of scenic beauty, comfortable temperatures, events and activities, and fewer crowds for both RV and tent campers. Whether you're looking to capture stunning photos, explore nature, or simply escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, fall provides the perfect backdrop for all your outdoor adventures.

So go ahead, take advantage of this remarkable season. Plan your fall camping trip today and discover the unique joys that only fall can bring to your outdoor experiences. Whether you're in a state-of-the-art RV or cozying up in a tent, there's truly no better time to reconnect with nature and your loved ones.
