If you plan on camping, be prepared. October is commonly thought of as the most beautiful month by resident Missourians, but the nights can be chilly. Rain is less likely than in summer months, but that is not to say that is won't come down on us. Some October afternoons beat down with the heat of an August day. You just never know. The average high for October in Missouri is 70 degrees, while the average low is 45. As we say here, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." Listed below are a few items campers may want to consider bringing.
-Extra thermal blankets.
-Rain Gear.
-Bug Spray.
-Brimmed Hat.
-Sunglasses.
-Hoodie.
-Sunscreen.
-Glow Sticks.
