7 Benefits of Camping in Autumn

While summer camping trips are great, have you ever considered camping in autumn? As the hustle and bustle of summer fades away, autumn is the perfect opportunity to getaway for many different reasons.

1. Less Crowds

Summer months are often very popular, especially when the kids are off school. During the autumn months, you can enjoy more peace and quiet thanks to fewer visitors in the area. The roads are usually emptier, and you shouldn’t have to wait in long lines for tourist attractions, parks, or shops.

2. Dark Skies

The dark skies above Longnor Wood in the Peak District are nothing short of spectacular. On a clear night, they come alive with billions of stars and distant galaxies. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of dazzling meteor showers, shooting stars, or bright planets lighting up the night. You might even witness the incredible sight of the Milky Way stretching across the sky.

3. Your Dogs Will Love it

Summer weather can often be unenjoyable for your dog due to the intense heat, making outdoor activities exhausting. The cooler autumn temperatures are far more comfortable, allowing your dog to stay active and enjoy the outdoors without the risk of overheating.     

We’ve got plenty of dog-friendly options for your autumn holiday on our campsite to make your stay even more enjoyable.     

4. Milder Weather 

Autumn is a great time of year for staying outdoors! It is not too hot, yet not too cold, making it perfect for exploring the stunning local area around our campsite.   

5. Stunning Scenery 

There is something about autumn that makes local landmarks even more beautiful to look at. You can expect to see lots of stunning scenery in the Peak District when camping in autumn. You may also see some more wildlife in the areas, especially with the quieter crowds.      

6. Cosier Camping 

Autumn transforms camping into a cosy experience, inviting you to embrace warmth and relaxation. Our hot tub accommodations are an ideal choice for an autumn holiday, offering the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the outdoors.         

7. Better Sleeping Conditions

Even though there is the possibility of some warm days in the autumn months, the nights are beginning to get longer and cooler. This way, you won’t be as hot and bothered on a night while trying to get a good night’s sleep. There is even more chance for a lie in with the darker mornings.
