Technically yes, you can go anywhere you like, but the truth is, you don’t want to be anywhere that could possibly get three feet of snow in October. If we had a say in it, we would suggest that you start planning your trip to Jellystone of Estes Park. Not only do we have a campground where you can set up your tent, but you can also rent a cabin or bring an RV if you so choose.

MAKE A LIST AND CHECK IT TWICE

When is comes to packing camping supplies and materials in any season, you want to check and double check that you will have everything you need before you head out on your adventure. There is nothing worse than getting to a campsite only to realize that you forgot your flashlight, or even worse, your water supply.

SPEND AS MUCH TIME IN NATURE AS POSSIBLE

The entire point of camping is to spend as much time surrounded by wilderness as possible. Go on hikes, climb trees, observe animals and plants all around you. At Jellystone of Estes Park, we have dozens of outdoor activities that you can participate in while you are staying at our campground. You can go horseback riding or have a picnic next to a lovely scenic mountain view. Whatever you do, just take it all in. You’ll be happy that you did.
