Are you also wondering how summer flew by so fast? Longing for warm temperatures, cozy evenings, and a break from those dreary gray days? Well, we’ve got just the thing for you – a winter camping trip to the south!

Tips for Your Winter Camping

Nice Weather is Optional

Don’t fret if you’re dreaming of sunny weather but encounter chilly temperatures or snow upon arrival. Our campers are well-equipped with winter tires, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey even on wet roads. However, when driving in mountainous areas, exercise extra caution when temperatures hover around freezing.

Ample Space at Campsites

Some campsites operate year-round, offering plenty of space and the flexibility to choose the perfect spot. Before embarking on your trip, find out which campsites remain open. You can easily do this on our website by filtering for winter campsites.

Open Sanitary Facilities

Surprisingly, some campsites keep their sanitary facilities open during the winter months. It’s worth packing a cozy, fluffy bathrobe, as mornings can be quite chilly even in the south. Alternatively, consider renting one of our self-sufficient campers with its own bathroom. This way, you can enjoy the comforts of showering and using the toilet without stepping foot outside the cozy camper, even when the facilities are closed.

Unbelievable Prices for Bookings

Not only do our campers offer super low prices in winter, but campsites also provide attractive discounts. Take advantage of long-term offers and our exclusive winter special long-term rentals!
