Fall Camping: Columbus Day Weekend

We’re about a month away from Columbus Day Weekend – October 6, 7, 8 – so we’ve highlighted a couple of campgrounds we’d love to visit for the long weekend! It would be an understatement to say it’s been a hot summer… we’re finally beginning to see temperatures max out in the high 70s to low 80s, signaling that the comfortable fall weather is just around the corner 🙌🏻

Before we get started, we want to highlight this awesome ‘Fall Foliage Prediction Map’ from the team at Tennessee State Parks. This interactive map uses a calendar slider to show you when each region around the country will reach its peak fall foliage! View the map at: SmokyMountains.com
