The Weather is Cooling Down, but Fall and Winter Camping is Heating Up

Now that you have located your ideal RV campground for your weekend getaway, stay prepared with these considerations to make your fall camping trip amazing.

As we all know, Fall weather fluctuates very frequently and can often alter our plans due to its unpredictability. It it important for the success of your trip to regularly track the weather channel or app in the location of your designated campsite. Nobody enjoys cancelled plans, especially one you have probably been looking forward to all summer long. However, in the event that the weather does switch up on you, pack accordingly for any weather conditions you might encounter. This goes into our next tip to consider when planning for a fall RV camping trip, a checklist.

Without spelling out all of the necessary items you might need for a camping trip, you are bond to forget a crucial component. Feeling prepared beforehand will save you time and money, avoiding the unnecessary stop on the way. Here is a list of our top must-haves for any successful fall retreat:

• A water-resistant tent
• Proper sleeping equipment (insulated sleeping bag, extra blankets, sleeping pads)
• Layers upon layers of clothing
  • Thermals are great for layering
  • Fleece jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts (because who doesn't look a cozy fleece sweater)
  • A heavier winter jacket (because temperatures can drop, fast)
  • Gloves, hats, earmuffs, scarves
  • Thick socks/water-resistant boots
• Hand-warmers
• Fire starters/matches
• A portable stovetop
• A supply of water
• Food (hotdogs make a great, quick meal over the fire or of course the crowd favorite, s'mores)
• Flashlights
• First aid kit
• Pocketknife
• A map/GPS device

The items we listed could be used for indoor/outdoor camping but while you are enjoying the luxury of camping inside of your RV, it is also nice to have the option of portable items in case you decide to participate in old-fashioned outdoor camping.
