Favorite Season for Camping? * 1
    #25936383 - 04/15/19 02:56 PM (4 years, 9 months ago)

Whats your favorite season to camp in?

Mine is middle to late Spring, anytime during the Summer and Early Fall. I feel like the best climates to be in.

How bout you guys?

I like finding a nice remote river swimming hole in the wilderness when its hot as hell, grab some beers or even a small LSD dose and alternate between swimming and lounging in a hammock.

Doesnt get much better for me.

Sitting around a fire on a cool fall night is pretty awesome too. Spring is too cold and muddy at most spots around here.

It all depends on what part of the country or region I’m in. 


SW Deserts:  Early Spring
The NE:  Early Summer or Fall
Down South:  Fall, Winter, or Spring
PNW:  Havent been so couldn’t tell you.  But I’m heading to SEKI mid-June this year for a 3 night backpacking trip.  We’ll be at 9-10k feet the entire time.

Around here, we have 9 months of winter, 3 months of road construction...

If it is around here, I like the summer. It doesn't get too hot. Spring and fall are iffy weather-wise.

I don't really camp much. I am going to start using the walking trails in our state park more. They usually get some nice mushrooms going around June. Nothing edible, just cool stuff to look at.

Fall by far.
Not too hot during the day, the trees are lovely, no allergies, the nights are cool enough that fire, hot chocolate, and sleeping bag are all luxuriously comforting.

Only downside is the animals tend to be more sketchy. Getting ready for winter and rutting and people hunting them. Gotta be a bit more cautious.


Last year in September I had a black bear rooting around about 50 yards from my camp. I was alone. But I built up roaring fire and went to sleep.

Fall is my favorite season in some ways, and I never camped during that time. This fall I will.

Ahhhhhh. Outdoors...

First warm spell of spring is probably worse for bears and deer animals (can't remember the family name atm) but I'm usually preoccupied with being suffocated and blinded by plant sperm. Rarely camp here after the first truly warm days of spring.

Much less hunting though.

I would very much like to learn how to do this but I feel like doing it often might be needlessly destructive to the environment.

Not criticizing, just not sure it'd be ethical here where the forests have already dealt with repeated decimation over the last 200 years.

I do think it's pretty cool though and gives you a lot more control over the warmth and comfort of your shelter.

Spring and fall. Spring for the flowers, fall for the yellow and orange aspen leaves. Love camping year round really, however those times are special

Yeah it definitely depends on where you're at.

For example, summer is the peak season in a place like Yellowstone or the Grand Teton National Parks. Summer up there, it still can dip into the 30's/40's by nightfall. The days typically are a comfortable 85-ish. Too cold to camp comfortably any other time but summer in that region.

But in Big Bend National Park, for example, winter is the peak season. Because the summers are unbearably hot there (110-ish type temps). In Big Bend you'd see the fewest tourists/campers in summer.

All of them. Not kidding, not looking for brownie points, I just really enjoy the difference in the challenges and rewards that each season brings.

Summer gets a bit tedious because of the crowds, but it's heartening to see families bringing up the next generation of campers.

I like the isolation and danger of winter camping. I like the rebirth and awakening of Spring camping, and who doesn't love a baby animal sighting now and then? I like the heat and slow relaxation of a Summer set up. And I like the colors and cool down in the Autumn.

Like the high altitudes.  So Summer definitely.  Won't be snow in August this year but better than choking smoke and burnt forests.  Going the other way this time on the PCT in Oregon in Ashland.  Crater as a detour.

19 days away.  The only vacation I really look forward to.  I could go to the beach and be on James Cordon, which I had tickets to last year and slept through my alarm.  Was cursing God though at some points on the trail though Donner made up for it and what a fucking adventure.  Shit.

Majority of people, Summer and I get it.  Yet cities in the other seasons, and the big one in Summer.  Think I will live the rest of my life that way annually.

Autumn and spring are my favorite times- milder temperatures, no summer crowds and places are empty of people.  Mushrooms are out and about and everything is in color- whether it's leaves in autumn or flowers in springtime.

I go camping in Scotland every year in march/April. It's just warm enough a night that your not freezing your balls off, the summer growth hasn't started yet so you can walk through parts you couldn't in  summer because they would be overgrown by then. But the best bit is there's no midges (tiny little flys that swarm upon you in search for your blood).

But I also like bike packing In England in summer with just a bivey bag.

Good advice.  Would like to go to that part of the world.  Wondering if midges are a worse form of mosquito as I have not come across them before.  Biting gnats are the most aggressive insects I have ever seen.  Was amazing that people working this place called Antelope Island had every square inch covered on their body from head to toe and looked like hazmat people while camping there. 

Still cracks me up going there with my brother and he forgot something at the campsite when we were leaving in the morning without protection and got out of the car and in around 10 seconds this mini whirlwind, seriously, that is what they look like, descended upon him and I shouldn't laugh but the number of bites in that short amount of time was amazing.  He works hospitality so his looks are everything to him.  They don't take blood, they just bite.

What I do get is always pack light.  I can just take a large backpack at times and put it under the airline seat in front of me and do just fine for the short trips for a week or such.
