Improved Sleep

With cooler nights comes improved sleep patterns - it's just science! With the cooler nights and less humidity, it's easier to fall asleep - especially when tent camping. This is a great time to try out tent camping if you haven't, as you won't have to worry about sweating it out in closed quarters. Fall camping for the win!

Camping in the fall is the best at this Traverse City campground.

Leaf Peeping + Fall Foliage

Yellow, orange, red, oh my! One of our favorite perks about fall camping at Leelanau Pines is due to the fall foliage that surrounds our Camp-Resort. Because we are situated right in the pines, our campground is a great place for leaf peeping and enjoying the gorgeous scenery this season provides. According to American Forests, peak colors are expected to occur during the month of October, right before we close for the season! If you're looking to book a stay during this time, we recommend booking as soon as possible before we sell out.

Autumn camping doesn't get better than this.

Fewer Bugs

It's time to pack away that bug spray. Due to decreased humidity and lower temperatures, you'll enjoy a bug-free vacation! If you're a glamper at heart who isn't in tune with nature, this is one of the prime reasons why you should book a fall camping trip.

Less People, More Time For Fun

The start of fall marks that summer is officially over and the kids are back to school. This means that less people will be taking a family getaway, resulting in fewer crowds at our campground!
