5 reasons for camping in autumn

Of course, summer is the first choice for all travellers when it comes to planning their next camping holiday. But have you ever thought about giving camping a chance in autumn? We'll tell you the best reasons why it's worth planning a camping holiday in the most colourful season of the year.

One of the most important reasons to camp in autumn is definitely the less crowds of holidaymakers at a destination's most popular sights. This gives you more time and, above all, space to see everything in peace - whether in nature or in an impressive city. Far away from the crowds, you can see beautiful old towns, stroll through the alleyways or visit a top national park that is sure to be overcrowded in summer.

Many hiking trails are also not overrun by crowds. You can definitely enjoy the landscape more in autumn and get that real holiday feeling. Pure relaxation when you simply hike through unspoilt nature or let your gaze wander at a viewpoint.

The many bright colours of autumn are sure to lure everyone out of their shell and make them want to discover nature and enjoy their time outdoors.

In addition to the fact that your chosen destination will not be overcrowded, the campsites are also emptier in autumn. Of course, you need to make sure that your chosen campsite is also open in autumn - some pitches are unfortunately only open in the summer months. However, there are also some campsites that welcome guests all year round. It's best to check the opening times in advance.

That way you can enjoy your quiet away from the crowds in summer and, with a bit of luck, have even more space than usual. It is also usually not necessary to book in advance. This means you are more independent when planning your trip and can travel a little more spontaneously.

Typical and popular summer destinations such as Spain, Italy and Croatia are ideal for an autumn camping trip. The sea is often still nice and warm** from the summer and warm enough to swim and enjoy the turquoise water.

It's not just the beach regions in the south that attract camping holidaymakers at this time of year. Thanks to the milder temperatures, an autumn camping trip allows you to enjoy outdoor activities and visit attractions that are often simply too hot to visit in summer. In milder temperatures, cities can be visited in a much more relaxed way. Sporting activities** such as hiking, cycling or climbing are also easier to do. So you won't be out of breath right from the start!

Autumn sometimes does what it wants, so it can sometimes rain. So you will most likely want to make yourself comfortable in a tent. It is advisable to choose a tent that can withstand bad weather such as wind and rain and is also comfortable. The Nimbus 12 Sleeper Protect camping tent is ready for use even in heavy rain thanks to its sewn-in groundsheet and high water column. The advantage of a sewn-in groundsheet is that no water can get inside the tent. It offers you a cosy shelter when it is stormy and wet outside. The reinforced tent poles made of steel and fibreglass poles also ensure a secure footing in the next storm.

If you want to get out into nature despite the rain: It's no problem with the right clothing. Pack your rain jacket and wellies and explore the countryside!

Another reason for autumn camping, which is also easy on your wallet, is the comparatively low prices for pitches. In the low season, campsites often offer lower pitch prices to attract holidaymakers even in the milder months - an advantage for you that you shouldn't miss out on. This gives you the opportunity to get the best pitches with a great location, for example with a view of the sea, for which you would definitely have paid more in the summer months.

In addition to discounted prices for pitches, many campsites also offer other attractive offers to attract campers in autumn. For example, they offer a breakfast buffet, which is included in the price, or certain wellness packages that give you unlimited use of their own sauna or pool.

In addition to these discounts on site, many campsites offer discounts on various attractions such as rafting, boat trips or other excursions in cooperation with tour operators.

If you think it might be too cold for camping in autumn: with the right equipment, you won't freeze in the evening and especially at night.
