Autumn is by far my favorite time to camp. Summers are ok if you have lots of trees for shade. Camping in a pine forest is amazing because a layer of pine straw adds so much cushion to the ground (but not great for the rain fly as sap drips on it).

I've never done a true winter camp, the coldest I've camped in is -5 C / 23 F and that was just the low temp overnight.

Late spring would be my second choice for camping after the ground has defrosted and it's not so muddy.

    Thanks for the great insight! I actually haven't experienced that "pine straw cushion" myself yet, but now I'm very curious to try it.

    It sounds much more comfortable than sleeping on a regular mat!

    -5°C is still quite a challenge, so I think you're braver than you realize!

    Hope your next autumn trip is amazing.
