“Autumn. Fall camping. The colors are beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. Camping in the fall brings with it different accessories than summer camping. You definitely will want to bring your camera to catch some of the fall colors. You will also have to take into consideration, the ever changing weather conditions for this time of year. Days can be warm and sunny one or rainy and cool. The nights for fall camping can be almost freezing. Some areas in northern New England have their first frosts by the end of September. I just heard the weather forecast and there was actually snow expected tomorrow evening up in the White Mountains! SNOW!!! Hard to believe but true! So pack warm clothes and dress in layers. Pack a great sleeping bag and make sure you have your fire wood all ready incase you do get some of that beautiful snow.”
“Camping in the fall means heading to the New England states so you can be sure to catch the beautiful colors of this season. Five of the best places to camp in the fall are mentioned in Yankee Magazine. They are: Little Moose Management Unit in Greenville, Maine; Mount Philo State Park in Charlotte, Vermont; Lost River Valley Campground in North Woodstock, New Hampshire; Clarksburg State Park in Clarksburg, Massachusetts and Oak Embers in West Greenwich, Rhode Island.
I have been to Clarksburg, MA and North Woodstock, NH. I can vouch for both of these places to offer great scenery and bright fall foliage colors. It is not freezing yet, but the nights are cool, so make sure you have a great sleeping bag. Some blankets on the ground and then your sleeping bag make the ground a little more comfortable to lie down on. Of course, an air mattress works better.
Camping can be fun any time of the year, but in the fall, you can really experience the full spectrum of colors.”
