Here in sunny California, the Indian Summer can last a long time, sometimes until about Thanksgiving. Of course, to camp out, you need good weather and time off, and those both start fading fast once summer ends.
We’ve had a mighty hot summer that started to end a couple of weeks ago. My flip flop broke and then the next morning it was cold-ish. So it was a sign. It’s still in the 70’s and 80’s this week here in the afternoons but the mornings are now in the 50’s and colder at higher elevations. Actually pretty much perfect, the 100+ degree days aren’t my favorite.
We’re having a spectacular “Indian summer” here in coastal central California. Much warmer than June or July, with the warmth lasting until sunset, no coastal fog drifting in. However, my idea of camping is a tent in the mountains or desert, not lined up facing a lake with 20 other RV’s. But many folks here like to do just that, proving that some behaviors are truly global.
It’s not really a camping site, but a short-stay (at the riverbank) for camper vans and motorhomes only . Refill, recharge, etc., stay one night and hit the road again.
Ever since my kids started school, we’ve been unable to take September vacations, which is too bad, because in my opinion it’s the best time of year to travel: warm but not hot weather, and reduced crowds as compared to summer.
I wish I could join these folks camping by the river!
Great photo! Still summer-like upper 80s F here in the U.S. midwest. Everybody indeed is clinging on to what’s left of the warmth. We know what’s coming in a few short months time.
Great photo. I’m guessing it’s probably from a country that’s not the United States, but there seems something so quintessentially “Americana” about it.
Now would be the time to camp, now that the mosquitoes are mostly gone and it’s not so hot at night.
I was just out camping myself this past weekend. Was still a very nice weekend to be out, not too hot just a comfortable temperature. Here’s a picture from just outside the campground where we stayed.

We have snow forecast for this weekend which is unfortunate. Looks nicer there.
