If you're planning a fall camping trip, Mystic KOA Holiday makes a convenient home base for exploring the changing leaves, scenic drives and coastal towns throughout southeastern Connecticut.
Fall foliage typically begins to appear in southeastern Connecticut in early to mid-October, with peak colour generally arriving around mid- to late October.
The exact timing can vary each year depending on weather, but October is a great time to explore the area's forests, parks and scenic roads.
For the best chance of catching peak fall colours, plan your Mystic getaway for mid-October through late October.
You don't have to go far from Mystic to find beautiful fall scenery. Here are a few nearby places worth adding to your itinerary.
