Fall is right around the corner, and here at Clay's Resort Jellystone Park™, we are ready for it! From cooler temperatures to cozy sweaters, the fall season has a little something for everyone. But, how can we forget the breathtaking fall foliage that will surround our Ohio camping resort?! We've gathered everything you need to know about fall camping this season - including when the colors will be in peak, recommendations on the best spots to view the foliage, as well as fall activities & events you won't want to miss at our campground.
Ohio Fall Foliage Prediction Map
Although nobody truly knows when the exact dates of peak fall foliage will be, we can assume that peak colors will hit the North Lawrence area in mid October, around October 9-23, 2024. Mid October is the perfect time to continue your family's annual Halloween traditions in the crisp, autumn temperatures. For a more detailed view of the Ohio fall foliage map, you can check it out on the Almanac or American Forests websites.
Plus, this time range lines right up with our camper-favorite event: our Halloween Weekends! We still have a variety of luxury cabin rentals and campsites available during this weekend. If you're a glamper at heart, our best value cabin option is our Ranger Smith™ Cottage. Equipped with a full bathroom, kitchen, a spacious screened-in porch, and accommodations that sleep up to 8 people (including a private bedroom!), this Ohio cabin type is the ultimate choice. For our fellow RVers, our best value campsite option is our Premium Back-In RV Sites! Book this site while fall camping and enjoy an oversized back-in site with full hook-ups, a picnic table, and a fire ring. But don't wait to book your site - we tend to sell out!
