What are your fall camping plans?

Fall is our favorite time of the year for camping. We usually stay close to home to enjoy the great AR fall weather. The weather is usually good thru November with the occasional short cold snap. We have at least three trips planned. Heading to Branson for a long Labor Day weekend then going to Beaver Lake in NW AR for a week later in October. We like to hit some of the craft fairs up there. But my favorite is our annual trip to the National Forrest to meet up with our friends at deer camp. We stay at least a week and sometimes longer if the weather is OK. Living off the grid in the middle of nowhere is the way to go. We take turns cooking and the food is fantastic. Lots of dutch oven cooking and cast iron kettles over the campfire.

    We like to camp near the Starve Rock area in Utica Illinois. Problem is they had some severe storms in July, knocked down so many trees most of the walking trails are closed. Mattison State park which is near wasn't affected but is limited as far as trails go. I'm sure they will be packed where it won't be much fun walking shoulder to shoulder.

    Planning to enjoy the Aspens turning yellow as I ride the Cumbres & Toltec Steam Train out of Chama, NM.
    Looking at late September.

    None this year, after the last week in September, we're finished until December (planning another Florida trip over Christmas week). Reason we're not planning any fall trips is because of our work schedule. My wife and I, both being in IT, have demands upon that simply will not let us get away (very far) this Fall. But after November, the mad push is over!

    We love Fall camping as well, heck we enjoy camping Spring and Summer too. We don't have anything specifically planned, but we have many favorite spots here in the four corner states for watching the leaves turn color. We may go to the Good Sam's get together in our state late September as we have never attended in the past. With so many places to go within a days ride, we just go on a whim wherever our hearts desire. We keep our rig plugged in and stocked in our side yard ready to go in a moment's notice. Happy Fall Camping!!!
