It never ends - it's always camping season! (I wish).

We hope to go October again this year and we don't use EHU. In Scotland, October can be warmer than July - it's just darker!

We went away last october and although yes it was chilly at night the days were lovely and we actualy came back with a tan.

Of course the other bonus of cold night is your other half will deffinately give you a cuddle

We will deffinately be camping all the way through the seasons and hope to see you on our travels

We try to get away as many times as possible starting generally May Half term (I haven't tried Easter as yet) right up till October half term.

As I work in a school I try to make the most of all the holidays we get. LOL.

Just take plenty of layers and we have a little heater on a timer plug so it comes on a short while before we usually wake up.

Go for it. Life is too short not too.

Hello.  We are also thinking of going away in October.  It would be great to squeeze one last trip in before the end of the year.  We just started camping in June and we became hooked overnight!!  We live in Scotland so the dark nights are a bit off puting.  I suppose as long as you are organised with things to do in the evenings and have plenty cozy clothes then it should be great....  Oh and dont forget to check the weather forcast before you go too.

We are hoping to go camping in the suburbs of London in October so we can catch the tube in to visit the sites. Just doing my research now

Then we will see if February hols will be to cold for us (me ) If it is then it will be the Easter holidays before we get away again.

Tigerfeet - try Lee Valley campsite - tube and bus handy for central London. London is never really as cold as elsewhere so you should be fine there in October, plus they have great warm shower blocks just like a bathroom in a hotel!
I camped late in October last year and then started again in Feb - nylon tent and no EHU BUT must have a campfire!!

Latest I ever camped was mid-November but I was only one using a tent. No electrics or heater so relied on thermal ski underwear, ski hat worn all night and a quality sleeping bag. At night I made a flask of hot chocolate and another of coffee so if I awoke cold I had a hot drink.

Biggest problem was keeping myself occupied during long nights - solo camping, plenty reading. Campsite had usual showers though fairly basic apart from a small TV room. Used to take evening meal in there.

Thank you for that Liverbird, we were looking for somewhere outside London to take in the sights rather than the generic hotel. Will look into it further now. Much appreciated.
