Winter is on the horizon—the season when tent campers pack up their camping gear in favor of warmer, indoor digs. But for RV campers, frigid weather doesn’t mean the camping season is over. That’s because RV camping allows you to experience the joys of camping (ample time outside, campfire cuddling) with the comforts of home (warm blankets on your own bed, a heater).
While your RV may allow you to camp all year round, make no mistake that not all RV campgrounds are created equal. Winter-friendly RV campground amenities like full-hookup campsites, hot tubs, indoor laundry, hot showers, game rooms and easy access to nearby entertainment will upgrade your winter camping experience. From Ohio to Colorado, Arkansas, New Mexico and beyond, we’ve rounded up some of the great RV campgrounds in America to help you pick a winter camping destination that will please and entertain you during the coldest months of the year.
