Fall Camping Poll

Friday October 5, 2007
The weather is getting cooler up north, and many campers have already stored their gear. Non-snowbirds are making plans to winterize their RVs. Yet many campers find this time of year to be great for enjoying the outdoors. I think fall is a very beautiful time of year to be outdoors, and I have plans to camp some more this year.

Out of curiosity, when do you plan to take your next camping trip?
1.) I have more campouts planned for this year.
2.) I don't plan to do any more camping this year.
3.) I'm not sure.

My family and I do more camping this time of year than any other. You can’t beat the cool/cold crisp air while hanging out around the campfire sipping hot spiked cider and toddies. All of the camping is quick weekend trips due to the kids being in school though. We finish up the season late with an adult only get together with some friends where we toss around ideas for next season.

Living in northern Michigan and being a tent camper fall camping is a challenge. But I always manage a weeked in October when Indian Summer arrives–can’t beat that crisp air!

I am going this weekend (Columbus Day) for 3 nights! It is way….. too warm for this CO native to pack it all up for the summer while living here in MA!! I camp until it gets in the low 30’s at nite.

Living way down south in Miami, I’m fortunate to be able to camp year round although it’s hot in the summer months we have AC in the PopUp. These up & comming months are the best camping months down here, and our state parks are among the best, so come on down from the cold and enjoy. Check out www.floridastateparks.org

I just went camping this past weekend and have yet two more camping trips planned in the next 4 weeks. The season hasn’t come to an end yet for me in Tennessee.
