Fall is right around the corner, and here at Jellystone Park™ Quarryville, 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 Pennsylvania 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.
Pennsylvania 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 Lancaster area in mid October, around October 9-16, 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 Pennsylvania 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 Premium Cottage. Equipped with a full bathroom, kitchen (no oven), a spacious porch, and accommodations that sleep up to 6 people (including a private bedroom!), this Pennsylvania cabin type is the ultimate choice. For our fellow RVers, our best value campsite option is our Red Carpet Back-In RV Sites! Book this site while fall camping and enjoy a concrete pad with full hook-ups, a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill. But don't wait to book your site - we tend to sell out!
Nearby Areas for the Best Fall Foliage
As many of our campers, know, our Amish Country campground offers gorgeous views of the fall foliage, but it's also important to explore the surrounding areas for even more photo opportunities! We roped together a few places we recommend for scenic views of the fall colors below:
The Pinnacle Overlook
The Pinnacle Overlook in Pennsylvania offers breathtaking views of the Susquehanna River, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. In the fall, this scenic spot becomes even more stunning as the Pennsylvania fall foliage bursts into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Fall camping in the area is a great way to fully experience the beauty of the changing leaves. For those planning a visit, a Pennsylvania fall foliage map can help pinpoint the best times to catch the peak colors.
Lititz Springs Park
Lititz Springs Park in Pennsylvania is a peaceful retreat, known for its charming walking paths and picturesque spring-fed pond. During the fall, the park is especially beautiful, as the surrounding trees showcase the vibrant hues of Pennsylvania fall foliage. It’s an ideal spot for a relaxing day outdoors or a quick stop during fall camping trips. Visitors can use a Pennsylvania fall foliage map to plan their visit and enjoy the seasonal colors at their peak.
