Camping in New England can be truly an appreciated adventure when you go during the height of the fall foliage. While it is true that you can go camping elsewhere during those fall months and watch the leaves change, there is something more vibrant and crisper about the changing leaves in New England. Whether you have ever previously witnessed the changing leaves in any of these historically rich and naturally beautiful states or you are just looking for the best campsites ever, this is the trip for you.
Be prepared to meet some of the nicest and friendliest locals you will ever find. New England is a place where the rest of the world is welcome to visit, learn, and partake of the lifestyle that is most definitely uniquely country and steeped long in tradition. Camping in New England means coming face to face with people and nature that can literally be so stunning that it can change your perspective on life forever.
There are simple fairs, like pumpkin festivals and sheep and wool festivals to all out Oktoberfest fairs that bring out the beer drinker in all of us. Each fall festival celebrates and honors something unique. Each one is held on different grounds and each brings something new to the honorable traditions that have kept these festivals alive and well for generations.
There are fall festivals that celebrate the season and there are those that specifically dedicated to celebrating one certain aspect of life. You can find these festivals throughout the New England states over the period of traditionally fall months, with most happening in September and October. Admission is relatively cheap and in some cases even free. Be prepared to play games with your family, ride some country fair rides, and eat some of the best fall foods you’ve ever tasted.
With New England’s small country charm you and your family are simply bound to have a great time. There is something magical about the crystal clear lakes and rivers you can fish for freshwater rainbow trout (or your choice of fish) and bring it back to the campfire for a whole new experience in fresh fish. Anyone who loves to experience the outdoor lifestyle should never pass up the chance to go camping in New England during those early fall months.
Be prepared to deal with some unexpected weather. While New England is absolutely gorgeous in the fall months it is also relatively easy to find yourself experiencing a quick and harsh change in the weather.
New England autumns can bring drastic changes from one day to the next. It is possible to experience a twenty degree drop in temperature in just an hour as a fast moving front paves the way. Keeping in touch with the weather report and being prepared for the possibility of overnight frost is just one more way to be prepared when camping in New England. Always heed all weather warnings and make sure that you are able to receive regular weather updates to make sure that you aren’t about to find yourself smack dab in the middle of the changing weather unprepared.
