Before you go
- Select the winter camping destination right for you. Experienced campers know that winter is a great season for both RVs and tents, with some lesser-known parks and campsites that may be overlooked in summer becoming cold-weather dream destinations. Winter camping is available in select campgrounds statewide, plus cabins, yurts, geodesic domes and lodges.
- Winter RV rentals are available. Reserve your site, then have one of the permitted businesses deliver to your selected destination.
- Make sure you have the right gear, and plan ahead for the weather. Get tips on how to dress, but if you aren’t quite ready to invest in cold weather gear, consider renting a winter weather kit from Arrive Outdoors, our latest These Goods are Good for Michigan partner.
