Ready to announce a full denial of winter’s arrival by refusing to give up your passion for camping? We get it. Here to help you on that quest? Spacious Skies, with 1,672 RV, tent, cabin and glamping site options in 13 locations throughout the eastern United States, stretching from Maine to South Carolina, has five sites open throughout the winter season. And, while some seasonal recreational options and amenities such as swimming pools, beaches and other warm-weather outdoor activities may be limited, they’ve been replaced by cozier choices.
Here’s a sampling:
Spread across 500 acres close to Nashville, Knoxville and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Spacious Skies Belle Ridge in Tennessee offers 12 cabins and 50 full RV hookups, plus single and group tent sites. Among the amenities are a gazebo and pavilion, WiFi, golf carts, a camp store and gem mining. Nearby hiking and UTV trails lead to fishing holes and waterfalls (and seasonal swimming). Spacious Skies Belle Ridge is close to Interstate 40 and attractions including the Civil War Trail, Cummins Falls State Park, Cumberland Cove Golf Course and Monterey Rail Trail.

At the feet of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina, Spacious Skies Hidden Creek welcomes winter in different ways.

Along with RV sites that include choices with views of the property’s five-acre lake or private creek, lodging options include deluxe one- and two-bedroom cabins. Plenty of nearby attractions make a winter trip worthwhile, including Lake James and Pisgah National Forest, Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, Linville Gorge and the Orchard at Altapass.

Sep 23, 2023When the Sun Goes Down, the Party Begins on Mykonos
There is something magical about sipping a glass of local wine while watching the sun slip into the Aegean Sea as the afterglow tinges traditional, white-washed Cycladic houses with glorious shades of rose, purple and gold. Ancient Greeks believed Helios, the Sun God, caused sunsets by driving his fiery chariot into the sea. Standing at water’s edge in Mykonos, watching the sky slowly turn from purple to inky black, you almost believe it.

Sep 22, 2023Cruise Alaska for Awe-Inspiring Adventures to Delight All Ages
I hadn’t even made it to my first cup of coffee when I got an early phone call from my sister, who lives two time zones away. “OMG, Kristy, Patsy Cline came on twice while I was driving the kids to school today,” she laughed. “You know what that means, right?” We both gasped and then instantly began singing the lyrics to “La Bamba,” an inside joke we’d shared since our family’s Alaskan cruise decades ago when we, unintentionally, won the ship’s karaoke contest among a sea of Patsy Cline tributes.

Sep 15, 2023Beyond the Beach: See Hawai’i’s Diverse Verdant and Volcanic Landscapes on an Island-Hopping Cruise
Midway Atoll is the end of the Hawai‘ian Islands, literally. This is the ultimate fate of these low, sandy islets ringing a lagoon: Eventually these last remnants of a once large volcanic island will sink beneath the waves, completing a story that began 1,500 miles away. Midway, though not easy to get to, occasionally features in cruise itineraries. Holland America Line’s Westerdam offers a rare chance to glimpse the remotest of all the Hawai‘ian Islands with a scheduled stop in October 2024. You can still see the relics of the famous World War II battle here as well as a million nesting albatrosses and other seabirds.
