As the crowds thin out and the air turns crisp, winter camping offers a quieter, more peaceful way to enjoy the outdoors. Mountain Creek Campground remains open for winter RV camping, giving adventurous travelers the opportunity to experience the beauty of the season—if they’re prepared.
If you’re considering a winter stay, here’s what you need to know to stay comfortable, safe, and stress-free while camping in colder conditions.
Is Winter RV Camping Right for You?
Winter camping isn’t for everyone—but for RVers who enjoy solitude, cozy evenings indoors, and scenic views without the summer rush, it can be incredibly rewarding. With the right setup and expectations, winter RV camping can be both comfortable and memorable.
Mountain Creek Campground accommodates RV-only winter camping, making it easier to plan a cold-weather stay with proper hookups and reliable access during the off-season.
Preparing Your RV for Cold Weather
Before arriving, it’s essential to ensure your RV is ready for freezing temperatures. Proper preparation helps prevent damage and keeps your systems running smoothly.
- Heated water hose or hose insulation to prevent freezing
- RV skirting to block cold air from circulating underneath
- Tank heaters or insulation for freshwater, gray, and black tanks
- Weather stripping around doors and slide-outs
If you’re unsure whether your RV is winter-ready, this cold-weather RV preparation guide is a helpful reference.
Managing Heat & Power in Winter
Staying warm is a top priority. Many winter RVers use a combination of propane furnaces and electric space heaters. If using electric heaters, always follow manufacturer safety guidelines and avoid overloading circuits.
It’s also smart to:
- Monitor propane levels closely
- Use thermal curtains or window insulation film
- Keep vents slightly open to manage condensation
Weather Awareness & Safety
Winter weather can be unpredictable. Before traveling, check forecasts and road conditions, and allow extra time for arrival and departure.
We recommend reviewing official winter weather safety tips before your trip, especially if snow or ice is in the forecast.
