In fact, camping in the winter is a whole new adventure that not many people experience.

Winter Activities

Snowshoeing is another fun winter activity that will give you the chance to appreciate the wonderful scenery of the Adirondacks.

A Noise Break

One thing is for sure winter camping is like nothing else you’ve ever experienced. One aspect of winter camping that makes it so unique is the silence. Camping any time of year brings you close to nature, which means that you get to escape the noise of the city. However, the sounds of nature also dull in the wintertime, meaning that there are no sounds of insects buzzing around or the rustling of leaves in the wind. This leaves you with a rare moment of absolute silence, which is great for unwinding from the stress of everyday life.

Less is More

Another perk of winter camping is you get to leave the bug spray at home! Nothing ruins your time outdoors like swarming flies and biting mosquitos, but camping in the winter means that you can enjoy the outdoors free from bugs. Not only are there fewer bugs but there are also fewer people. This means that there are no crowds and you can enjoy the great outdoors with no distractions.

Adventure

The best reason for winter camping is very simple. Do it for the experience. Winter camping is your chance to try something new, and most likely it will be something that you love and will want to do again every year. Plus, the bragging rights and the stories from your great outdoor adventure will make you glad that you decided to step out of your comfort zone and try something new at the only year-round campground in Old Forge.
