Autumn is absolutely wonderful but it can be a real pain if rain catches you off guard while camping.
When it comes to autumn camping, don’t let rainy weather dampen your spirits. In fact, camping in the rain can be an enchanting experience if you’re well-prepared. Here’s how to make the most of your wet and wild adventure.
Plan for Rainy Autumn Weather in Advance
Rainy weather can ruin your camping trip very quickly. That’s why you should plan for it and avoid it ruining your autumn camping adventure.
- Prepare for Any Weather: Check the weather forecast and pack accordingly. Come rain or shine, you’ll be prepared for anything.
- Choose Your Camping Style: When planning an autumn camping trip consider your camping style. We recommend opting for an RV camping trip. An RV will keep the cold air and rain at bay and you’ll get to stay warm and cozy.
Gear Up for Your Rainy Autumn Camping Trip
Bringing the right gear and supplies with you is essential for a successful autumn camping trip. So let’s take a look at what you’ll need in case of rainy weather:
- Rain-Ready Tent: Make sure your tent is equipped with a sturdy rain fly to keep you dry when the skies open up.
- Waterproof Everything: Invest in rain-resistant gear like rain pants, water-resistant shoes, and a rain jacket.
- Tarp Magic: Pack a tarp to create a dry haven outside your tent. It’s your personal rain-free lounge.
Stay Warm and Cozy Come Rain or Shine
There’s nothing worse than getting soaked in autumn rain while camping. Here are three easy tips to stay cozy and warm.
- Fire It Up: Rain doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a campfire. Gather dry wood and get that fire crackling. A nice cup of tea, anyone?
- Proper Campsite: Find a sheltered and level site to set up camp. Use insulated sleeping gear and consider an indoor heater if it gets chilly.
- Bring Extras: Especially when it comes to clothes! You should have a spare outfit to change into because wet clothes and autumn temperatures are a recipe for a nightmare.
Rainy Autumn Camping Activties
- Plan Rainy Weather Fun: Research local indoor activities just in case. Museums, cozy cafes, or a board game by lantern light can save the day. On the other hand, if you don’t mind the rain, check outdoor activities around your campsite as well. Autumn is perfect for visiting harvesting festivals, thermal spring baths, going hiking, river rafting, horseback riding, or even wildlife watching. Those can really take your adventure up a few notches.
- Rainy Days Camping Recipes: Embrace the weather by cooking up some comfort food. We all know that hot cocoa and soup taste even better when it’s drizzling. Check out our camping meals blog post for some inspiration.
