Best Fall Camping Activities Near Alexandria, MN

Slow down and soak up the season at RV There Yet

There’s something special about fall in Alexandria, Minnesota. The crowds thin out, the temps cool off, and the colors light up the lakes and countryside. At RV There Yet, it’s one of our favorite times to camp — and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.

If you’re planning an autumn visit, here are some of the best fall activities to enjoy during your stay.

Leaf-Peeping Along the Lakes and Trails

Alexandria comes alive with fall color in late September through mid-October. Shades of orange, red, and gold reflect off the lakes and frame every trail. You don’t have to go far from RV There Yet to find stunning views.

Hop on the Central Lakes Trail for a peaceful bike ride or walk through the changing trees. Or take a short drive to Lake Carlos State Park, where hiking trails wind through maples and oaks that glow with fall brilliance.

Bring your camera — and maybe a thermos of coffee — and enjoy the quiet magic of the season.

Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes for the Whole Family

Fall in Minnesota wouldn’t be complete without a trip to a local pumpkin patch. Just outside of Alexandria, Country Blossom Farm is a must-visit.

They offer pumpkins, wagon rides, a corn maze, apple cider donuts, and a giant outdoor play area for kids. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to spend the whole afternoon — and maybe come back again before you head home.

Cozy Nights Around the Campfire

One of the best things about fall camping? The evenings. Cool, crisp air. Clear skies full of stars. And the unbeatable smell of a campfire.

At RV There Yet, our sites are perfect for cozy nights by the fire. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows with the kids or enjoying a quiet moment with your partner, it’s the kind of simple memory that sticks with you.

Pack a few extra blankets, your favorite hoodie, and a good story to tell. Fall fires are the best kind.

Fall Events at Carlos Creek Winery

Carlos Creek Winery is beautiful any time of year — but it really shines in the fall. Their annual Grape Stomp Festival is one of the biggest events in the area, featuring live music, local vendors, food trucks, and yes, actual grape stomping.

Even on quieter weekends, the winery is a great place to relax, enjoy the fall scenery, and try seasonal wines and hard ciders. Don’t forget to stop by the gift shop for a bottle (or two) to bring back to camp.

Bonus: Fewer Bugs, Fewer Crowds

Fall camping means less hustle, fewer mosquitoes, and quieter trails. It’s easier to grab a great campsite, enjoy peaceful mornings, and really connect with nature — without the summer rush.

And being right off Interstate 94, RV There Yet makes it easy to slip away for a weekend of fresh air and fall colors — even if it’s just a quick getaway.
