We're able to go up anytime throughout the year but never make it up in the off season. Would love to one of these winters but will need to do more research on cold weather camping, although I would most likely go without using water... might make it easier. Electricity is on 24/7/365 but water's only on mid April to mid October. Any way... speaking of mid April ... a few of us "neighbors" are heading up next weekend to split wood for the season. The CG took a few trees down and left them for us so we're going to take advantage of the free wood. Reeeaaallly looking forward to getting this season kicked off.
