Full Packing List for Vermont in the Fall + Camping

This is my Full Packing List for Vermont in the Fall + Camping! Vermont is the ideal place to visit in the Fall.

Tones of oranges, yellows and reds everywhere you look! 10/10 foliage destination! The old churches, small towns, green mountains, breweries, hiking trails and so much more. VT is a really cool place but especially in the Autumn months!

A long weekend is the perfect amount of time to get a lot of exploring in.

Last October, my boyfriend Alby and I spent a long weekend checking out everything Stowe and Burlington has to offer! Both of us loved it!!

We adventured, camped, biked, ate, drank, hiked, and shopped our way around Vermont during our time there. We wanted to see and do as much as possible! – You can check out my Guide to Stowe + Burlington VT in the Fall here!

Spending most of our time outdoors (even at night since we camped) we came up with the ultimate list of everything you need to pack for a trip to Vermont in the Fall!

Let’s get into it! –

Full Packing List for Vermont in the Fall + Camping:

Clothes:

Fall in VT can mean warm sunny days that still feel a little like summer.

Fall in VT can also mean chilly mornings, afternoons and nights where you want to bundle up in all your cozy clothes.

Sometimes…Fall in VT can mean rainy days. Just be prepared for everything!

We were always out and about during the day hiking, biking and exploring. Oftentimes no longer needing our sweaters once the sun was fully shining.

At night, when walking around town is when that fleece coat comes in handy!

Clothes to pack:

Hiking shorts/pants
Hiking tops
Leggings
Jeans
Sweatshirt
Fleece coat
T-Shirts
Long sleeve shirts
Cozy PJs
Hiking socks
Regular socks
Underwear
Bras (+ sport)
Raincoat

Shoes:

Alby and I found ourselves in our hiking boots most days. The hiking boots got a ton of use on this trip. For all different level hikes as well as for horseback riding, the boots are what you want to wear.

By the time we were ready to take those boots off, Birkenstocks were the shoes we wanted.

Sneakers are nice to have for activities like biking and walking around.

Shoes to pack:

Gear:

The gear is important!

Pack carefully for a camping trip to VT in the fall…you might end up in some rain.

We felt well-prepared for this camping trip. Always cozy and comfy in our tent at night.

The only thing we were not ready for was all of the rain. It rained pretty heavily one day/night on us. Our poor tent was soaked from being torrentially down-poured for hours.

Be sure your tent can withstand the rain but also bring things like extra tarps, bungeecord and rope- you will be happy you did!
