As the summer sun starts to dip a little earlier and the nights get cooler, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy unforgettable moments at Gateway Park Campground. The end of summer is one of the best times to camp — warm days, crisp evenings, and a chance to squeeze in just a few more adventures before fall arrives. Here are some fun ways to celebrate the season with us.
1. Cozy Up Around the Campfire
No camping trip is complete without gathering around the fire. Late summer evenings are perfect for roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and soaking in the glow of a crackling fire. Don’t forget to pack your favorite s’mores ingredients — it’s the ultimate end-of-summer treat!
2. Plan a Family Game Night
Bring along some board games, cards, or yard games and turn your campsite into a mini game zone. From cornhole to Uno, laughter-filled competitions are a great way to bond with family and friends while making lasting memories.
3. Explore Local Attractions
The end of summer is a fantastic time to explore local trails, lakes, and attractions near Gateway Park Campground. Whether it’s a nature hike, fishing trip, or a day spent exploring a nearby small town, you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors and the community around us.
4. Host a Picnic Feast
Take advantage of the warm weather with an outdoor meal. Grill up burgers, hot dogs, or even fresh local produce, and enjoy a family-style picnic at your campsite or in one of the campground’s open spaces.
5. Capture the Memories
Don’t let the last days of summer slip away without snapping some photos. Sunsets, campfires, and family fun make for great memories you’ll want to look back on when cooler days arrive.
