Fall doesn’t have to mean the end of glamping season. In fact, there is something extremely cozy and comforting about a glamping adventure as the cool, crisp air of autumn sets in. Plan ahead and glamp while enjoying these fun fall events:
Leaf Peeping Trips: If you’re into the beautiful colors of fall, plan to hit some of the most beautiful areas of color in the country. New England is great for fall color so check into a cozy tiny house at Tuxbury Tiny House Village in New Hampshire and you have several options to leaf peep. Color driving options include the Kancamagus Highway, the Currier and Ives Scenic Byway or the Monadnock Region Loop. All have charming towns to visit along the way. Bar Harbor, Maine, and more specifically, Acadia National Park, is another great spot for seeing the fall palette. Book a stay at Narrows Too Camping Resort and enjoy a walk in the wooded wonderland of Acadia. On the west coast, an option for fall foliage could be a trip to Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver with a glamping stay in a cottage, cabin or yurt. Then drive the nearby McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway to bask in fall’s color show.
Fall Festivals: Fall is great for festivals and a few to consider would be Oktoberfest across the country. Book a cozy tiny house at Leavenworth Tiny House Village and enjoy this spectacular event in Leavenworth, Washington that runs three weekends in October (October 4-5, October 11-12 and October 18-19). Billed as one of the country’s best, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati in Cincinnati is considered the largest Oktoberfest in the US. This year’s event will be held September 19-22. Book a glamping cottage or cabin at Thousand Trails Wilmington to be near all the fun. The skies over the Adirondack mountains will be full of hot air balloons from September 19-22 as the 50th Annual Adirondack Balloon Festival takes flight. The glamping cabins at Lake George Escape Campground are the perfect spot to stay if you want to enjoy this event that is less than 15 minutes away. How about celebrating all things cranberry? The world’s largest cranberry festival, Warrens Cranberry Festival, is scheduled for September 27-29 in Warren, Wisconsin which is a little over 70 miles from Lake of the Woods Campground and its great glamping cabins.
Ghost Tours: With Halloween looming, why not check out some of the best haunted tours in the US. According to housebeautiful.com, these are some of the best spookiest tours around: Florida’s Walking Ghost Tour of St. Augustine (book a stay at Encore Bulow in Flagler Beach); the Sisters Grimm Ghost Tour in San Antonio, Texas (stay at Thousand Trails Medina Lake); Spooked in Seattle Ghost Tours (stay at Tall Chief Campground); and Colonial Ghost Tours in Williamsburg, Virginia (stay at Thousand Trails Williamsburg). Of course, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is said to be one of the most haunted places in the world so there are plenty of ghost tours to be found here (and maybe you don’t even need one to find the spirits lurking here) If you go, plan a stay at Drummer Boy Camping Resort and check into which of the many tours strike your fancy.
