Yikes... I can't imagine the pain from breaking a leg.  Heal well.

I hope you heal up fine! There has to be a lot of pain. Take the time you can't be camping and plan an after Christmas trip or early Spring trip. Start a new tradition!

I shattered my femur in 2000. Got the pins and rod still in my leg. That's a long recovery, if I recall it was a few months till I was walking in any kind of condition to go vacationing! And probably 6 months till I was cane free.

18 years later now, and I cannot even tell there was ever an injury there, other than the cool scar on my butt where they inserted the rod. Even completed a few running races in the years since then.

Hang in there, and stay ahead of the pain!

Weather in April will be similar to Thanksgiving in our region. Go then. Plan for the turkey and all the fixins, you aren't missing it, your only postponing it.
