Essential Gear For Fall Camping
Fall camping offers the perfect blend of crisp air, vibrant foliage, and quieter campgrounds. We provide a ton of supplies in our RV, but packing the right gear is essential for comfort and safety. Here’s a list of must-haves to bring on your fall camping trip, so you can fully enjoy the beauty of the season.
Layered Clothing
Fall weather can be unpredictable, with warm days and chilly nights. Bring moisture-wicking base layers, fleece or wool middle layers, and a waterproof outer shell. This will help you stay warm and dry, no matter the conditions. Check out this guide on layering for the outdoors to ensure you’re prepared.
Warm Sleeping Gear
Even with an RV, nighttime temperatures can drop significantly. Be sure to pack insulated sleeping bags rated for cooler weather. If tent camping, consider a sleeping pad for extra warmth between you and the ground. A high-quality sleepingbag is key to a restful night in the wild. We offer sleeping bag sets in our ad ons!
Fire Starters and Heat Sources
Campfires are essential for warmth, cooking, and ambiance in fall camping. Bring waterproof matches, a reliable lighter, and some fire-starting material, like fire starter sticks or a flint striker. If campfires aren’t allowed, a propane camp stove can be a great alternative.
Waterproof and Durable Footwear
Wet conditions are common in the fall, and the last thing you want is cold, wet feet. A sturdy pair of waterproof boots is a must-have to keep your feet dry and warm while hiking or setting up camp. Look for boots that offer both warmth and waterproofing, like those from Keens.
Rain Gear
Rain is common in fall, and staying dry is crucial for maintaining body heat. Make sure to pack a quality rain jacket, rain pants, and a waterproof cover for your backpack or gear. A good rain jacket will keep you dry and comfortable, no matter how wet it gets.
A Camera to Capture the Fall Colors
Don’t forget to pack a camera or use your smartphone to capture the stunning fall foliage. With the vibrant colors, wildlife, and peaceful atmosphere, you’ll want to document your experience and make the memories last a lifetime.
With the right gear, fall camping can be an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re exploring national parks, hitting your favorite campgrounds, or renting an RV to take in the scenic drives, being prepared ensures you’ll stay cozy and safe.
