I am somewhat of a snowbird in that I do not camp in snow but occasionally am at places where it may get down into the mid to low thirties. Besides the space heaters I have an electric heating mattress pad on my bed and an electric blanket; it’s great to be sandwiched between the heat coming from the bottom pad and the top blanket.
Don’t know what your age is but if you’re 62 or over, or have a disability, you may be able to get a lifelong discount camping pass for Federal lands and many State parks. A lot of the state parks don’t even require that you be a resident of that state to get their discount pass.
I have a Golden Access Passport which gives me a 50% discount camping on Federal lands, and I also have various state park passes that allows me to camp for free. Regardless, whether you have a pass or not there are a lot of free campgrounds, and cheap campgrounds, all over the U.S., especially on public lands.
