SI: What makes the fall on New England so much more unique than other regions in the country
AC: Fall in New England has it all: local farms, festivals and of course cider donuts and apples galore. From late September until November, the region comes alive with Fall foliage that you won’t find anywhere else on Earth. It’s easy to see why so many travelers make it a top destination during autumn. We love fall at Autocamp because you can take in the crisp autumn air and enjoy all that fall in New England has to offer right outside your door.

SI: How has the concept of glamping evolved/grown since Covid?
AC: Road trips and camping offer the perfect city escape into the great outdoors as autumn approaches, and the leaves begin to change color. Over the last few years, travel destinations have expanded to offer a balance of luxury with nature through glamping destinations like Autocamp Cape Cod. AutoCamp is truly the perfect combination of exploration and the great outdoors without sacrificing the comforts of a hotel. While glamping was popular before Covid and has remained popular today, the pandemic helped this trend leap from niche to mainstream.
