Parktoberfest is Coming to Sumpter!
If you've been waiting for the perfect time to camp in the mountains, this is it. We've been having beautiful, sunny days, crisp cool mornings, and the fall colors are starting to put on quite a show. October is one of our favorite times of year in Sumpter, and there is still plenty of time to get out and enjoy the mountains before camping season winds down.
On Saturday, October 17th, Parktoberfest is happening at Whistle Stop RV Park, right across the street from us! We went last year and had such a great time, and we're excited to see it back again this year.
The day will feature the Idaho BBQ Association's final competition of the season, along with BBQ food, vendors, and plenty of family-friendly activities.
