Finding a campground in the winter can be a bit more challenging than in the summer, as many campgrounds may be closed or have limited facilities. Here are some tips to help you find a campground in the winter:

Check online: One of the easiest ways to find a campground in the winter is to search online. Many campgrounds have websites that provide information about their winter availability, facilities, and fees. You can also search for winter camping websites or forums to find recommendations and reviews from other winter campers.

Call the campground: If you have a specific campground in mind, call ahead to check if they are open during the winter months. They may have reduced services, but some campgrounds do stay open year-round.

Check with national or state parks: National and state parks often have campgrounds that stay open year-round, although some may only have limited facilities during the winter months. Check their websites or call their visitor centers to find out more.

Look for RV parks: Many RV parks stay open year-round and offer full hookups and other amenities for winter campers. Check their websites or call them to see if they have any available spots for camping.

Consider dispersed camping: Dispersed camping, also known as boondocking, is camping in undeveloped areas on public lands. This can be a good option for winter camping as many national forests and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands allow dispersed camping. Just be sure to follow Leave No Trace principles and check for any restrictions or permits required.

Remember to check the weather and road conditions before heading out, as winter weather can quickly change and affect your camping plans. With a little bit of research and preparation, you can find a campground that meets your needs for winter camping.

Happy Camping!
