Don’t get me wrong, I love summer. The long, action-packed days. The still, starlit skies at night. Great times with great friends and family. What’s not to love? Well, for starters, there’s the sweltering heat that’s become the natural norm these days. Then there’s the thick haze from the wild-roaming, Canadian wildfires. And let’s not forget, the constant and crazy road construction that often delays our outdoor adventures.

 In other words, I’m ready for some colorful, cool-weather camping and that glorious season we call autumn. But where to go? Glad you asked. Here are three of our favorite escapes that should be on every RVer’s to do list.

Au Train Beach Campground, Michigan

Located in Au Train, MI (Upper Peninsula) just a few minutes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, this campground offers direct access to three miles of stunning Lake Superior beachfront; perfect for swimming, paddling, boating and more. There is also nearby access to miles of hiking and ORV trails, as well as shopping and dining in downtown Munising.

Key Largo Kampground & Marina, Florida

A hidden jewel in the legendary Florida Keys, the campground offers an authentic “Key” experience, including diving, snorkeling, fishing and boating the warm Gulf Stream waters. Be sure to take in the breathtaking Christ of the Abyss and save room for a slice of their legendary Key Lime Pie.

Harris Beach State Park, Oregon

Located on Oregon’s rugged south coast, Harris Beach offers a spectacular seascape for sightseers and miles of sandy beaches and rocky outcroppings to explore. Check out Bird Island; a National Wildlife Sanctuary and breeding site for rare birds, like the tufted puffin. 

Happy Camping,

Bob
