Fall is right around the corner, and here at Jellystone Park™ Cranberry Acres, 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 Massachusetts 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.
Massachusetts 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 New England area in early October, around October 2-9, 2024. Early 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 Boo Boo™ Bungalow. Equipped with a full bathroom, kitchen, a spacious porch, and accommodations that sleep up to 8 people (including a private bedroom!), this Pennsylvania cabin type is the ultimate choice. For our fellow RVers, our best value campsite option is our Premium Back-In RV Site! Book this site while fall camping and enjoy a full hook-up, 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 Massachusetts 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 Berkshires
This may be a bit of a drive from our Camp-Resort but is definitely worth it! The Berkshires are an iconic mountain region in the northwestern part of the state which means it is one of the best places to take in the beautiful fall colors!
Concord
Only an hour from our fall campground is Concord, a little town where you can find lots of historic homes surrounded by lots of trees that will be wearing all the fall colors. Plus, it is also close to Lexington where you will find lots of fall things to do such as the Battle Trail.
Salem
Nothing says fall like a visit to Salem, especially in October. Between spooky ghost tours, the Salem With Trials Memorial, tons of history, and of course beautiful fall colors, a visit to this New England town should be on your list!
