Top Five Reasons To Go Fall Camping




Are you thinking about taking a Fall camping trip? Then consider these top five reasons to pack up your camping gear with the family this new season.


Summer is Gone & Fall is Here


With the busy summer season behind us, Fall is a beautiful time to go camping and relax. You and your family can watch the changing colors of the season and breathe in the newly crisp air. Camping in the Fall provides an excellent window of opportunity before the darkest days of the year set in.


Reason One – More Relaxing


The first reason to go camping during the Autumn season is the ability to relax more. Fewer people are camping at the lake, and this also means there is more availability of camping spaces.


Reason Two – Fewer People, Less Exposure


With the COVID-19 scare, many families are looking for a way to escape from the business of life safely. During the Autumn season, it is much easier to keep your distance while enjoying the outdoors. This can include making a new spin on your Fall holiday celebrations.


Reason Three – Creating Vivid Memories


With the Autumn leaves changing from green to beautiful Fall colors, you and your family can create vivid memories of the season. Hiking during the new season will vividly plant family memories never forgotten. You gain the ability to “take it all in” during this time of the year. Listen carefully without hearing all the summer hooray taking place. See all the changes taking place. Smell the crispness and breathe in the cooler air – creating an unforgettable experience.


Reason Four – Seeing the Wildlife


During your Fall camping excursion, you and your family can enjoy the outdoors more freely – see the wildlife moving about, view the changes in vegetation and trees.
Autumn campers will see more animals – bears, elks, deer, squirrels, moose, and other wildlife. Each lake area will include different native wildlife you and your family can see.


Reason Five – Fall Camping Discounts


Many campsites offer Fall camping discounts. Plan your family outing and call around to different grounds. Frequently, you will find more bottomless deals for your camping experience.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 57 degrees; 1.86 feet below pool. Striped bass are good using live shad and cut bait anchored in 45-65 feet of water thumping the boat and running a splasher to get the fish under the boat. Recent rains will have a lot of big female fish up river but look for them on flats and structure with swim baits in 12-25 feet of water. Crappie are good on jigs using electronics to fish brush in the little mineral arm 15-22 feet of water. Also seeing fish in the creeks 2-4 feet of water on brush. Smallmouth or largemouth bass are slow fishing docks and structure with crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Look for SM on gravel beds along the bluffs in 6-12 feet of water. Catfish are slow on cut gizzard shad anchored near the rivers in 5-10 feet of water but starting to see eater size fish coming on ledges and flats in 40-55 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Striped bass continue to be caught with Alabama rigs or sassy shad targeting ledges and structures in 5-40 feet of water. Some sporadic schooling activity and bird action. Some fish are moving into creeks. The shad spawn should begin as the water near 68 degrees. This runs around six weeks, bringing predator fish shallow and kicks off topwater season. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
