Any kind–drive-up camping, backpacking, RV camping, in the woods, at the beach, in a shelter, let’s hear it all.

    Best time of the year to camp is spring and fall. The nights are cool while the days are warm. You are either too early or too late for mosquitos. It can be less busy as well.

    Summer camping gets too hot both during the day and at night.

      I’d amend this to say ‘know what the seasonal conditions are for your area and plan accordingly.’ In Washington for example Spring is generally too cold for comfortable camping (the temperature typically drops to ~30-45 during at night). While August/September is peak wildfire season nowadays. So June, July, early August are your best bets unless you’re happy toughing out the cold or the smoke.

        There’s always a sweet spot for temperatures. I love a 70 degree day and a 50 degrees night.
