Securing a winter seasonal or annual site transforms your winter into a hassle-free, cold-weather sanctuary as you chase the sun and set up a new base camp.
To make these seasonal getaways accessible, Thousand Trails offers long-term, seasonal and annual site leases that allow RVers and vacationers to secure a dedicated site at participating campgrounds across the network without having to pack up or tow between trips. While Thousand Trails is widely recognized for its membership access to move between resorts in the network, guests do not need to buy or hold a standard Thousand Trails membership to book a seasonal or annual site. Long-term site leases operate under separate agreements and are available directly to non-members and the general public, giving anyone the ability to establish a convenient home base, keep their RV parked year-round or for the season, and enjoy the resort’s full array of amenities.
Locations across the country offer seasonal amenities that far exceed a standard vacation rental. Depending on your destination, you can spend mornings on snowshoe trails or pickleball courts, followed by afternoons in heated pools, saunas or hot tubs. Campground resorts foster a genuine sense of camaraderie, surrounding you with a welcoming network of fellow seasonal residents who gather around fire pits or active clubhouse events. Located within easy reach of regional airports and major metro hubs, seasonal sites provide a cost-effective, reliable escape all winter long.
When you want to secure your seasonal site and head for the sun this winter season, here are four standout locations:
