Why East Texas is the Ultimate Hidden Gem for Snowbirds
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 East Texas offers many benefits to those looking to escape the cold. Keep reading to discover why East 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 East 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 East Texas snowbird camping!
 
East 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, East 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 East Texas compared to Florida. It's a win-win!
