We have a few things at our house that we MUST do during fall, before the leaves are gone and it’s too cold. The first favorite fall activity is camping. There is nothing better than spending the night in a quiet campground with the windows on the camper open (or in a tent!) listening to the nighttime critters and feeling the cool breeze. The campfires are more magical in fall, the s’mores taste better, and the down time is more restful. I’ve included some pictures from our favorite campgrounds here in East Tennessee. Top three picks are Frozen Head State Park, Fall Creek Falls State Park, and Standing Stone State Park. I’d love to know your family fall favorites and your favorite campgrounds. Please share them with me!

P.S.-Notice one of our favorites is Frozen Head State Park. This real-life park is partially featured in my novel Callum’s Compass
