Fewer Crowds
As I said, winter isn’t exactly known as camping season, which works out in your favor. Fewer people go camping in winter, which means that if you do some research, you could probably find a spot to have all to yourself.
Winter is Camping Season
I grew up in Texas. Winter was the only time we could go camping without sweating all night. Check out destinations in the desert for prime temperatures when the rest of the country is freezing.
You Don't Need a Cooler
I love my cooler. I have a YETI that keeps my food and beverages cold for days during the warmer months. As much as I love it, it’s not super comfortable to carry very far. In the winter, however, I don’t even need it! I just pop my beers (or sodas) right in the snow.
Fewer Bugs
There are few things I loathe more than biting flies and mosquitos. They can turn a fun backpacking trip into the seventh circle of backcountry hell. But in the winter, you don’t have to worry about it! Not to mention, you also save the weight on bug spray.
It Makes You Appreciate Home
Use these tips on how to stay warm while winter camping.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
