6 Reasons to Camp in September

Summer is winding down, but camping season is still in full swing! With fewer crowds and less intense heat, September allows campers to enjoy a more serene and tranquil environment. It’s the perfect time to cozy up around a campfire, savouring the warmth as the nights grow longer. Whether you’re camping by the bay, in the woods, or near the beach, September offers a golden opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of Twin Shores. The days are warm and sun-drenched, the nights are cool with starlit skies. September offers the best of both worlds.

1. Cozy Campfires

Warms nights around the campfire are nice, but there’s just something about bundling up in your favourite, most comfy clothes and huddling in close to the crackling fire in the crisp autumn air that can’t be beat! September is the perfect time for gathering around a campfire for stories and s’mores.

2. Empty Beaches

Too cold for a swim? Not a problem! Grab your beach chairs, a good book and some yummy snacks and have a relaxing beach day! Put on your favourite sweater and head out on a peaceful beach walk! Enjoying the sound of the waves, the smell of the salt air, and the beautiful landscapes is not limited to the summer months. Our 4km of coastline is also the perfect place to catch an iconic Prince Edward Island sunset!

3. Panoramic Sunsets

Speaking of sunsets, Twin Shores has some of the best! Of course they are beautiful at any time of the year, but there is something about those September sunsets that just hits different. The colours seem more vibrant and there are always perfect unobstructed views.

4. Stargazing

The longer nights of September provide ideal conditions for stargazing. With clearer skies and fewer artificial lights, you can marvel at the beauty of the night sky and maybe even spot meteor showers. Twin Shores has some of the best stargazing around!

5. Fewer Crowds

With the peak summer camping season winding down, you’ll encounter fewer campers, allowing for a quieter and more peaceful camping experience. The campground is often less crowded, giving you more privacy and solitude.

6. Mild Temperatures

September typically offers pleasant temperatures, with cooler evenings perfect for campfires and comfortable days for outdoor activities. It’s an excellent time to avoid the sweltering heat of summer. The cooler nights also make it easier to sleep comfortably in your tent or sleeping bag without overheating.


Camping in September is a great opportunity for anyone seeking the perfect blend of mild weather, natural beauty, and a quieter experience. This transitional month offers a wealth of opportunities to savor what is left of camping season, and promises unforgettable moments and a chance to recharge! So, pack your gear, gather your loved ones, and embrace the magic of September camping!
