Fun ways to get your camper ready for fall camping in a campground.
October is here-now is the time to change it up for fall in the campground.
Open Everything Up
The weather is changing. Fall is moving in.
Open up the tents and campers
Change the cool cotton to winter flannels.
Pull out the comforters and down pillows.
Bring along lots of rugs for the cold winter floors
Pull out and refresh last year's winter items.
Jackets
shoes
Hats
Gloves
Remember to look at umbrellas, rain, and fishing gear, air out the tent, and replace or repair broken or loose items. Also, go through the tool kit and all camp equipment.
Cover up picnic tables with flannel fabrics
Buy yardage at fabric stores or use flannel sheets.
Upgrade the First Aid Kit
Go through all your first aid kit supplies
don’t forget the pets.
Go through the spices-winter loves cinnamon, nutmeg, sage.
Go eco-friendly in the campground with new innovative recycling uses.
Look into Recyclable Cups
Aluminum Cups are amazing. They keep drinks ice cold and they are recyclable
Use them for a winter ice tea cooler with a spring of mint.
Pickle up some snacks
Stop at farm stand on the way to the campground
Carrots
Cucumbers
Zucchini
Cauliflower
Red Onions
Bring along mason jars
Cut up all farm stand treasures.
Fill the jars with veggies, add fresh herbs, garlic, ginger, spices with a touch of salt and pepper.
Take equal parts water and vinegar and boil in a sauce pan
use white, apple cider, wine vinegar or rice vinegar
Pour hot liquid into the jars, let cool.
The veggies will have a crisp pickling flavor-perfect for afternoon camp snacks. For faster flavor you can blanch veggies before pickling.
Fall in love with the changing of the leaves
Create a list of winter meals favorites.
Take the time to create a market list of everything needed for that favorite first night meal. Keep it somewhere handy in the camper or camp journal for easy shopping.
