Fall may be the best RV camping season of the year, but it is no longer a well-kept secret. October campsites are filling quickly as Halloween weekends, fall foliage trips and seasonal festivals turn autumn into one of camping's busiest seasons.

In Episode 634 of the RV Podcast, Stories from the Road, Mike and Jennifer explain why RVers should make the pivot from summer to fall camping right now. They share strategies for finding campsites after popular weekends appear sold out, including booking Sunday through Thursday, calling campgrounds directly about cancellations and using fall foliage prediction maps to better time your trip.

You will also hear about memorable fall destinations and events across the country, from Tawas Point State Park and the Great Smoky Mountains to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, cranberry harvests, giant pumpkin competitions and even racing woolly worms.

Fall camping brings cooler nights, fewer bugs, beautiful scenery and some of the year's most enjoyable RV travel. But if you want a good campsite, the time to make your reservation is today.
