Howdy, y’all! Fall is the perfect time to hit the road and experience everything that Bryan and College Station have to offer. With the weather cooling down and the leaves starting to turn, it’s the ideal season for RV travelers to enjoy the great outdoors without the sweltering Texas heat. Whether you’re gearing up for an Aggie game day or planning to explore the local festivals and events, it’s essential to be prepared with the right gear. At Galloping Snail RV Park, we’ve got you covered with some helpful tips and recommendations to make sure your fall adventure is as cozy and enjoyable as can be.
Layer Up for Fall
Autumn in Texas means you never quite know what the weather is going to do. It might start chilly in the morning, warm up to summer temperatures by midday, and cool off again by evening. That’s why layering is key. Don’t let the unpredictable weather catch you off guard—pack a few extra layers to stay comfy no matter what the day brings. A lightweight jacket, a couple of flannel shirts, and some cozy socks will do the trick. And if you’re planning on spending time around a campfire, don’t forget a warm hat and gloves for those chilly evenings.
Enjoy the Fall Flavors
There’s nothing like a warm, home-cooked meal on a crisp fall day. Whether you’re whipping up a pot of chili or grilling some burgers, fall is the season to enjoy hearty, comforting food. When it comes to cooking, cast iron skillets are a must-have—they’re perfect for whipping up meals on your RV stove or over an open fire. If you’re planning to do a lot of outdoor cooking, a portable grill or stove is also a great investment. Stop by the local farmers’ markets to pick up fresh, seasonal produce, or head to one of the nearby orchards for a basket of apples to turn into pies and snacks. At Galloping Snail RV Park, our clubhouse kitchen is the perfect place to prepare your meals, with full-sized appliances and plenty of space to cook up a storm.
Staying Warm and Cozy
As the days grow shorter and the nights get cooler, staying warm and cozy in your RV becomes a priority. Make sure to have extra blankets on hand to keep everyone snug on those chilly nights. An electric or propane space heater is another great addition to your RV, ensuring that you can stay warm without cranking up the RV’s main heating system. For an extra layer of comfort, consider investing in a heated mattress pad—it’ll make crawling into bed after a long day of exploring feel even more luxurious. Keeping your RV warm and cozy doesn’t just make for a more comfortable stay—it also helps you make the most of your time on the road, no matter what the weather brings.
Maximize Your Fall Adventures & Gear Up Locally
Fall is one of the best times to explore the Brazos Valley, and having the right gear will help you make the most out of your adventure. Whether you’re heading out for a hike, enjoying local events, or just soaking in the beauty of nature, a little preparation can go a long way.
Make sure you check out Aggieland Outfitters—it’s the go-to spot for all things Aggie, especially if you’re planning to catch a football game. Aggie football season is in full swing during the fall, and there’s nothing like experiencing a game day at Kyle Field. Whether you’re a die-hard Aggie fan or just looking to enjoy the local culture, make sure you’ve got everything maroon you need to show your Aggie spirit.
If you need any additional camping gear, Academy Sports and Outdoors is your best bet locally. They’ve got everything from camping essentials to outdoor apparel. And if you’re looking for RV-specific supplies or need some maintenance done, check out T&S RV and Sport or RV Station.
As you head out on your fall travels, be sure to check out the local events and activities that make Bryan and College Station a lively destination during these months. From farmers’ markets to football games, there’s always something happening that you won’t want to miss.
