New Brunswick – – – mid-October

One thing to keep in mind is that our Canadian Thanksgiving is always the second Monday of October and often signals the end of the season for a lot of attractions. This year it is October 10.

I can't help you much on the campgrounds because I think even the New Brunswick provincial parks close late September or early October. Just a "Heads up".

A lot of New England's campgrounds close Columbus Day weekend as well, which is also Monday 10/10 but some do stay open later. Depending on the year, mid-October could be too late. Or right on time! I'd do a search on each of the states you would like to visit to find out what campgrounds are open year round. Don't overlook coastal areas for foliage, either. Both Maine and Cape Cod have some of the most spectacular fall colors along the coast. Be aware, too, that October is fair/festival season up here and any open campground will fill up quickly. Knowing what states you might be in will help with "must dos". My favs that time of year are along the coast-Camden, Ogunquit and Boothbay Harbor in Maine, Gloucester, Rockport and Newburyport in MA, Rt. 1A along New Hampshire's coast and the National Seashore down the Cape. Almost any drive along any back road in New England will showcase our colors if the timing is right. Also if you can let us know what you like to do that will help.

Not much for campgrounds after mid-October in the Maritime provinces. Or Sani-dumps.

We did an October trip years ago up thru vermont, into quebec and around gaspe' and down thru NB and home to NY...the weather held wonderfully for us. We poked along using our 24 foot class c as a roaming hotel and boondocking along the way. LOVED hopewell rocks.
