Why Go RV Camping in the Spring?
The spring is the perfect time to take your trailer out of storage and head to the woods. The weather will be better than the winter, which makes it easier to enjoy outdoor activities. Flowers and trees will be in full bloom, making for amazing scenery. Animals will start to become active too, so you’ll be able to see some deer or birds on the trail.
You’ll also find less crowded spots than in the summer. When kids are out of school, you’ll find more families at the campgrounds. There’s a better chance that you’ll be able to reserve a post at your favorite location in the spring!
Common Spring RV Camping Problems
Although there are plenty of pros to taking your camper out this spring, there are also some potential problems you need to be aware of.
Mosquitoes
These pesky pests come out during the sunny season. We suggest bringing some insect repellent to deter them, especially if you’re hiking deep into the woods. You should also bring some itch-relief cream just in case.
Rain
Chances are, you’re going to encounter some rain this season. Although you may get lucky, it’s important to be prepared. Pack waterproof boots and clothing so you can still enjoy the outdoors without the rain making you cold and miserable.
Changing Trails
The winter can take a toll on hiking trails. Trees may fall, snow can cause erosion, and trail markers may have disappeared. Make sure to look for updated trail information before you go camping or hiking this spring.
Pollen
It’s officially allergy season which means pollen will be out in full force when you go RV camping. All it takes is one afternoon in nature to get your eyes watering and your nose clogged. Pack some allergy medication and tissues so you’re prepared.
Cold Weather
The sunshine can be deceiving. When you take your trailer out, the weather may still be cold. Make sure you pack enough layers so you aren’t freezing as you camp.
