Improved Sleep

With cooler nights comes improved sleep patterns – it’s just science! With the cooler nights and less humidity, it’s easier to fall asleep – especially when tent camping.

Leaf Peeping + Fall Foliage

Yellow, orange, red, oh my! One of our favorite perks about fall camping at Kittatinny is due to the fall foliage that surrounds our campground. With our stunning wooded sites, our campground is a great place for leaf peeping and enjoying the gorgeous scenery this season provides. According to American Forests, peak colors are expected to occur mid October – right before we close for the season! If you’re looking to book a stay during this time, we recommend booking as soon as possible before we sell out.

Fewer Bugs

It’s time to pack away that bug spray. Due to decreased humidity and lower temperatures, you’ll enjoy a bug-free vacation! If you’re a glamper at heart who isn’t in tune with nature, this is one of the prime reasons why you should book a fall camping trip.

Less People, More Time For Fun

The start of fall marks that summer is officially over and the kids are back to school. This means that less people will be taking a family getaway, resulting in fewer crowds at our campground! Meaning you won’t have to worry about lines for your river trip! Think about all the fun you could be having at our campground this fall…
