People tend to dust off their camping gear in order to take trips during the summer, and that is all fine and good, but the best camping trips are definitely in the fall. In the mountains, it’s cold overnight regardless of what month it is, so you will have to pack some cold weather gear regardless of the time of year you have to go. In the fall though, you get the jaw-dropping sight of the leaves turning colors as well as the best camping spots because the summer madness will have died down. Fall is the perfect time to plan your next camping trip and in today’s article, we’re going to cover what you can do to get prepared for the perfect autumnal camping adventure.

Pack Delicious Fall Foods And Drinks

Since apples and other delights are in season during this time, it makes for the perfect camping meal to bring a few along for cooking and for snacks.

• Fall campfire dessert: roast apples over the open flames and then add your favorite toppings like brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and more!
  
• Foil packet meals: the fall is the best time to break out this tried and true meal format. Pack in your favorite fall veggies along with a cut of chicken or beef and let them all cook together on the coals.
• Hearty fall soups and stews: camping in the fall is the perfect time to try your hand at some campfire stews or hearty soups! The longer nights and colder weather will have you and your fellow campers asking for seconds.

Best Camping Activities In The Fall

The fall is a great time to explore the hiking and biking trails around you. The scenery will be even better than it was during the summer and the trails will be less crowded. Hiking is even easier in the fall because you won’t have to worry as much about the blistering heat. Here are some other fun fall camping activities:

• Trailriding (bicycle)
  
• Hiking
• Fishing. Many rivers and lakes are still open for fishing into the fall season
• Stargazing. The night sky is often clearer in the fall allowing you to see distant stars and galaxies even better than in the summer!
• Gathering materials for crafting. Craft supply hunting is great during the fall! You can collect things like pinecones, fall leaves, sticks, and some flowers well into the fall so you can make awesome craft projects at home, especially for the holiday season.
