Camping for fun? Fall, 100%
Music festivals? It depends who's playing!

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.

A true all-seasons camper! Ever made a snow igloo to sleep in?

Thanks! I am indeed! I haven't made an igloo yet, but it's on my camping bucket list.

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.
