Great RV Campgrounds for Snowbirds-Drive South for the Winter

Great Campgrounds for snowbirds will have RV Birds of a feather flying together! It’s a twist on the old saying but with two feet of snow falling outside my window yesterday, I’m wondering if I missed the trip south for the winter. If you are no fan of the winter season or if you simply want to get away from the dark, dreary cold this year, you might be tempted to head off to some southerly location where the skies are blue and the sun is still shining. If you’re an RVer, the winter season is a great time to travel to chase an endless summer and escape the icy grip of winter. And if this snowbird lifestyle is for you, here is a look at some of the best RV campgrounds across the country where the weather is warm and alluring year round.

Elephant Butte Lake RV Resort - Elephant Butte, NM

The Southwest is a great location to escape the snow and the crowds that amass in other parts of the country. While New Mexico can experience some sense of winter depending on which part of the state you roam, Elephant Butte Lake RV Resort is a great RV campground to explore the Land of Enchantment during any season. This resort is in a beautiful location that will inspire the imagination and is sure to fuel a sense of adventure for any intrepid RVer. There are many outdoor activities and hikes in the surrounding area known as Sierra Country and the infamous Geronimo Trail.

Rancho Sedona RV Park – Sedona, AZ

Sedona, Arizona is a site to behold. If you have never been to this part of the country, you are in for a surprise. Red rock formations rise from the high desert like some sort of Martian landscape but with far better weather. Rancho Sedona RV Park is a great way to enjoy all this region has to offer and also makes a great snowbird destination. The RV park is right in the middle of town, making it easy to explore all of the great food and shopping nearby. With old trees surrounding the entire grounds, you’ll feel much more like you’re in the middle of nature than right in town, however.

Year-round activities abound here for any visitor. Exploring the town can be done on foot without driving anywhere due to this prime location. If you want to experience more of the natural wonder of this place, there are many options from hiking to biking to fishing and four-wheeling. The nearby river is a great swimming hole (though only for the brave during the winter months) and there are many well-known and highly recommended trails nearby. The park has great full size hookup sites and is a very well-manicured and maintained resort. Amenities include free WiFi and cable, laundry, volleyball courts, and grass for your pets to play.

Located in between San Diego and the Salton Sea, The Springs at Borrego RV Resort is an amazing Southern California escape for anyone. This place definitely feels far away from winter and the desert resort vibe it offers is sure to make you smile and forget all about the cold. The sun is said to shine over 300 days a year in this region and this makes for great weather all year round as well as stellar stargazing for any amateur astronomers out there.
