Allie:

A few weeks ago Carson and I took a mini vacation in our GearBox Adventure Rental’s van. Our destination was Asheville, NC and the surrounding areas. We headed out and for a good laugh, we went two hours in the wrong direction! As cliche as it might be, we were enjoying our time together. We ended up camping about an hour outside of Asheville at quaint little family campground. We cooked a small meal and enjoyed making our first fire. We fell asleep to the sound of the flowing water and woke up to a cool morning that we were dreaming of while escaping the humid Alabama heat.

Winter’s Best Kept Secret: Camping

Winter’s Best Kept Secret: Camping

We’re here to spill our winter camping adventure secrets.

Winter camping can actually be the best time to camp all year. While summer can often be hot and crowded, winter weather is often sunny, crisp, and without the pesky mosquitoes. Wildlife is easier to spot, big crowds are gone, and the night sky is clear. If you’re lucky enough to hike in snow, the silence of a snowy landscape will take your breath away. Bring your camera!
