What to Look for in a Campsite This Autumn 🍂
There’s something special about autumn camping — crisp mornings, golden trees, and quieter campsites where you can truly unwind. Whether you’re in a caravan, campervan or motorhome, finding the right site for the season can make your trip far more comfortable and stress-free.
Here’s what to keep in mind when booking your next autumn break:
1. Hardstanding Pitches Are a Must
Autumn often brings wetter weather, so look for hardstanding or gravel pitches that won’t turn muddy under your wheels. These also make setting up steadier, especially when you’re connecting your waste pipes or filling up your water tank.
2. Heated Facilities Make All the Difference
Many sites now offer heated shower blocks, drying rooms or indoor dishwashing areas — a welcome treat on chilly mornings. A warm start (or finish) to your day makes autumn touring much more enjoyable.
3. Easy Access to Fresh Water
With fewer daylight hours, convenience counts. Choose campsites with good water points or service bays so you can easily refill without moving your van. That’s where the Colapz 20L Collapsible 2-in-1 Water Carrier & Bucket comes in handy — large enough for longer stays, compact enough to store flat when not in use.
4. Good Drainage and Shelter
A level pitch with good drainage helps keep things dry, while a few nearby trees or hedges can provide useful wind shelter. Always check reviews to see how the site holds up after rain.
5. Great Walks and Views
Autumn light makes for incredible scenery. Look for campsites near woodlands, coastlines or national parks — perfect for evening strolls and golden-hour photos.
