It's a season that beckons you to stay outdoors and immerse yourself in its beauty. 

Don’t rush to pack up your camping gear just yet. Instead, envision the tranquillity of an autumn camping trip. The peaceful surroundings, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the cool, crisp air-these are the reasons why we believe Autumn is one of the most serene times of year for a camping holiday.

Off-peak Prices

Take advantage of the post-summer lull and enjoy camping at your favourite holiday parks for a fraction of the cost! With reduced rates from the end of September to early March, you can save money without compromising on the fun. It's a smart way to have an epic holiday without breaking the bank.

Beautiful scenery

Autumn brings golden leaves, misty mornings, and dramatic sunsets, which make it a perfect time to camp! If you love taking photos, then autumn is the ideal time to capture the seasonal transition. The warm colours combined with clear skies create excellent photo opportunities.

Cooler sleeping temperatures

Say goodbye to waking up in a sweat like the summer months! Camping in autumn is much cooler and comfortable. Your 3-season sleeping bag will be the perfect temperature during the autumnal months.

Perfect for wildlife spotting

Autumn is a busy season for spotting wildlife on your camping trip. Lots of animals are preparing for winter, and fewer people around means more chances of spotting them! Autumn is an excellent time of year to observe land animals, such as deer, squirrels, and field mice, as well as marine animals like seals and wild dolphins. Don’t forget to look up! Many birds migrate during the cooler months.

Fewer Tourists

There's no doubt camping in Autumn means fewer tourists, and you can enjoy popular attractions without the queues. Popular camping spots, such as Devon, Cornwall, and the Cotswolds, can still be enjoyed during the autumn season. You may discover a unique side to these places outside of the summer season. Discover the beauty of Blenheim Palace Gardens in the fall or hike around the spectacular Cairngorms National Park in the Eastern Scottish Highlands.
