Keep reading for 7 reasons why you should book a fall camping trip at Jellystone Park™ Barton Lake!
Cooler Temperatures
Say goodbye to those hot summer days filled with the blazing heat and say hello to chilly fall nights! There's nothing better than curling up around the campfire with your favorite sweater or jacket, all while roasting marshmallows with family and friends. Be sure to bring layers, a raincoat, and an umbrella so you can enjoy your stay rain or shine. After this trip, cold weather camping may be your go-to from now on!

Improved Sleep
With cooler nights comes improved sleep patterns - it's just science! With the cooler nights and less humidity, it's easier to fall asleep - especially when tent camping. This is a great time to try out tent camping in Indiana if you haven't, as you won't have to worry about sweating it out in closed quarters. Fall camping for the win!
Leaf Peeping + Fall Foliage
Yellow, orange, red, oh my! One of our favorite perks about fall camping at Jellystone Park™ Barton Lake is due to the fall foliage that surrounds our Camp-Resort. With our many wooded acres, our Camp-Resort is a great place for leaf peeping and enjoying the gorgeous scenery this season provides. According to American Forests, peak colors are expected to occur between October 16-23 - right in line with our Halloween Weekends! If you're looking to book a stay during this time, we recommend booking as soon as possible before we sell out.
Fewer Bugs
It's time to pack away that bug spray. Due to decreased humidity and lower temperatures, you'll enjoy a bug-free vacation! If you're a glamper at heart who isn't in tune with nature, this is one of the prime reasons why you should book a fall Indiana camping trip.
Less People, More Time For Fun
The start of fall marks that summer is officially over and the kids are back to school. This means that less people will be taking a family getaway, resulting in fewer crowds at our Camp-Resort! You won't have to worry about lines at our mini golf course, crowded jumping pillows, or waiting times for Lazer Tag. Think about all the fun you could be having at our Camp-Resort this fall!
We hope to welcome you to Jellystone Park™ Barton Lake this fall so you can experience all the benefits of fall camping yourself! If you're looking to book your stay, give us a call at (260) 833-1114 or you can book online. See you soon!
