Looking to head south for the winter? Florida is probably on your mind, but have you thought about trying something new this year? Snowbird camping in Texas offers many benefits to those looking to escape the cold. Keep reading to discover why Texas is a hidden gem for snowbirds!

What are Snowbirds?

Snowbirds are people who move south during the winter months in order to escape the cold. Typically retired, snowbirds are looking for a spot to live that offers warmer temperatures and plenty of on-site amenities. Once a snowbird finds the perfect place to stay, they make it their home every winter, becoming a tradition for their families.

Snowbird Camping in Texas

Florida tends to be the top destination for snowbirds. From warm temperatures, to a variety of things to do for retirees, Florida is a haven for snowbirds. With this being said, Florida also gets really crowded, as everyone has the same idea. If you're looking for a place that offers the same amazing benefits but with less crowds, we encourage you to try Texas snowbird camping!

Texas offers a similar temperature range to Florida, with highs in the 60s and 70s in winter months. If it does get warmer than Florida, Texas has dry heat and very little humidity - no need to tame those locks! Plus, you're guaranteed to experience fewer crowds while staying at a snowbird campground in Texas compared to Florida. It's a win-win!

Monthly Camping Options

Just like Florida, Texas offers many accommodation options for fellow snowbirds. Whether you're looking for a hotel or cabin, or are looking somewhere to park your rig, there's bound to be something for everyone. At our Texas monthly campground, we offer a variety of spacious RV sites and luxury cabin rentals to choose from! From full hook-ups with concrete pads for RVers, to private bedrooms and full kitchens for glampers, you won't go wrong when booking an extended stay at our Camp-Resort!
