Camping is the perfect opportunity to witness the splendour of fall colours right up close, especially in wooded areas such as the Laurentides, Chaudière-Appalaches or the Eastern Townships. Although October is generally a cooler month, some regions, such as southern Ontario and the Georgian Bay area, still boast very mild temperatures at this time of year (good to know if you’re dreading the cold!). In the national parks, wildlife reserves and provincial parks of Ontario and Quebec, the camping season generally extends into October – and even later in some cases. The same is true of many private campgrounds in both provinces, so you have plenty of options!
