camping season
Tent-pitching time frame
Camping season is the period of year when weather and conditions favor sleeping outdoors, typically late spring through early fall in temperate climates.
The exact span varies by region and depends on factors like temperature, precipitation, and whether campgrounds are open: We always take a big trip at the start of camping season.
Some parks have official camping seasons with set opening and closing dates.
