The Red Original Guide To Autumn Camping in 2021
Written by Luke Green /
Camping isn’t just for summer. In fact, Autumn is one of our favourite times of the year for camping. Not only does Autumn provide some of the most beautiful scenery, campsites are also a lot quieter outside of high season, making for a much more relaxing and enjoyable trip away. Not to mention, camp fires are a lot more cosy when there’s a little bit of chill in the air. So, if you’re thinking about heading out on an autumn camping trip, the following guide will provide you with the best tips and tricks for enjoying the best outdoor trip at this wonderful time of year.(Never light a fire in the wild. Make sure you only ever use designated fire pits at official campsites).
Layer up
Autumn weather has a tendency to be quite variable, and so it’s important to be prepared for all eventualities. Layering up your clothing is the best way to keep warm, and means you can easily remove layers if you start to overheat. We recommend pairing our performance T-shirt as a base layer with our long sleeve performance top layer (available for both men and women) on the outside. All our performance clothing is moisture-wicking, making it perfect for keeping you warm, whilst allowing your skin to breathe so that you don’t overheat in your sleeping bag. For chilling by the fire in the evening or walking to and from the shower blocks, our fleece-lined, waterproof Pro Change Robe Evo is another autumn camping essential. It’ll keep you warm and dry whilst making changing and moving around the campsite hassle-free, even in the wind and the rain.
Stay busy
When it’s cold and rainy, no one wants to be sitting feeling bored in a soggy tent. That’s why one of our top recommendations for autumn camping is to plan plenty of daytime activities to distract yourself from the weather. There are some spectacular hiking trails and bike routes to explore during the autumn months, where you’ll encounter amazing scenery. Pack up some lunch and an insulated travel cup, and you’ve got yourself the perfect day out.
