About Winter Camping

While not traditionally considered "camping season", there's loads to love about camping in the colder months of the year. Hot chocolate, for one. Wrapping up in cozy blankets, for another. But above all else—a chance to explore nature in a quieter, slower, and more peaceful time. With less campers and explorers out and about, you'll often find you have the trail to yourself. And remember, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Whether you're breaking a snowshoe trail in the mountains or hiding away on a beach in Florida, the secret to a perfect winter is a perfect Campspot.
