1. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

This park is truly special, with breath-taking mountain vistas along every hiking trail! You’re in for a wonderful White Christmas if you decide upon spending your winter holidays at Mount Rainier. If you like thrilling winter activities such as sledding, skiing and snowboarding, you will have a fantastic time. Try snowshoeing with a park ranger to learn about the area's beautiful wilderness or, if you are feeling more adventurous, go on your own snowmobile adventure.

You may also come across some wild animals! If you think Mount Rainier is right up your street, make sure to equip your RV with all the winter gear required. It’s extremely important to stay warm and comfortable in the area’s harsh winter weather, so make sure you have the best 12v heater for campervan on the market. Don’t forget to bring your much-needed winter clothes as well!

2.  Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Bryce Canyon National Park, with its snow-capped peaks, is another iced gem. The combination of red rock, thin coatings of snow with some splashes of greenery create an unusual combination of earth-toned hues. The temperature is more inviting than in the previous park mentioned, being it seldom dips below freezing.

The wonderful natural sights don’t end when the sun sets. Before retiring for the night in your warm RV, take some time to gaze at the night sky filled with bright stars. The romantic souls among you will feel at peace in this picturesque and scenic National Park.

3. Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
​

Shenandoah National Park is open year-round, including the winter months. Expect spectacular views and plenty of hiking possibilities. Shenandoah's wintertime activities include not just hiking but also snowshoeing. You are sure to enjoy the magnificent scenery, so remember to take plenty of photos as you’ll experience moments you won’t want to forget!

Although this park may occasionally close due to ice or dangerous conditions, it is normally ploughed within a few days after each storm. A full petrol tank and food supplies are essential since the weather conditions can be extreme and there are no service stations on route.

4. Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Wisconsin

Apostle Islands is the perfect destination if you've ever caught yourself daydreaming about a trip through a frozen fantasy. Icicles hanging from trees provide a unique addition to the coastline view, perfect for nature enthusiasts. In February, when the lake's ice is thick enough you will be able to explore the hidden caves in the area.

Remember to take your warmest clothes, with snow boots being a must as the temperatures can be very cold. You can also hike on the ice, so make sure to have boots that will protect your ankles in case of slipping. Please seek the guidance of a Park Ranger before venturing on to the ice, just to make sure it is safe to do so.

5.  Glacier National Park, Montana
​

Winter is a great season to visit Glacier National Park since it is less busy than during the summer months. Take a snowshoe tour of the park's restricted roads or sign up for a two-hour guided trek on one of the 700 miles of walking trails. Cross-country skiing is a very popular pastime in the winter months.

Winter is an excellent season to watch wild animals, so carry a pair of binoculars while hiking so as not to miss them. There are two campsites in the park that are available during the winter months, St Mary Campground and Apgar Campground, although it is best to make a reservation before travelling.
