We love to camp late in the cold weather season here in our OFF-ROAD POPUP camper... Used to do this alot in our TENT CAMPING days as well...
We will head for the VA/WVA wooded state line and camp up off the George Washington Natl Forest service roads... There are surprisingly other campers up there as well...
Most of the State camp grounds around here have seasonal closing dates but the Rangers will usually let you camp in them if you ask permission. Of course there is no utilities or facilities open for you to use... Have done this at Westmoreland State Park a few times over the years...
I love the cold winter camping... Getting around the camp fire early in the morning with a good hot cup of fresh ground bean coffee is a hugh thrill for us...
In my Arizona days back in the late 60s and early 70s this was very common place for the Jeep Guys. Hookup to your util trailer and several of you guys head for the high country trails for several days in the back country. Apache trail was a must do area and of course the Red Rock trails around Sedona seem to look much brighter Red in the colder months especially mixed in with the mtn snow...
