With summer now a pleasant memory, it's time to focus our attention on the season ahead. Time for some autumnal leaf peeping!!
We've found some great RV parks in the most scenic areas of the country for seeing the leaves change and the cool weather return.
Crested Butte RV Resort is close to one of the country's largest Aspen groves and a drive from Gunnison to Crested Butte provides the foliage buff with a kaliedoscope of gold, yellow and crimson. The Resort, in the shadows of Mt. Whetstone and on the Slate River, is the ideal spot to set up your base camp to enjoy all that the Gunnison National Forest has to offer. Hiking, biking, fishing and winter skiing!
US Route 1 along coastal Maine is a great place to take a long leisurely drive and check out the changing season.

Just a short drive from the eclectic little town of Eureka Springs, you’ll find the Eureka Springs KOA. Follow US Route 62 through the multicolored forests of red, crimson, and gold on your way to Ozark Mountain Country. The KOA has all that you need to refuel as you head east towards Missouri.
Cruise the scenic highway between Seeley and Swan lakes about 55 miles north of Missoula, MT to see the gorgeous colors of the changing larch trees.
