Looking to head south for the winter? Florida might be the first place that comes to mind when planning your winter escape, but this year, why not try something new? Snowbird camping in Texas offers the same sunshine, relaxation, and activities you love without the crowds. Keep reading to discover why Texas is a hidden gem for snowbirds seeking the perfect balance of fun, comfort, and community.

What are Snowbirds?

Snowbirds are travelers who move south during the winter months to avoid the cold. Often retirees, snowbirds look for a destination that offers mild temperatures, great amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere. Once they find the right place, it becomes their home away from home each winter, a tradition shared with friends and family year after year.

Snowbird Camping in Texas

Florida tends to be the top destination for snowbirds because of its warmth and attractions. However, it also comes with large crowds and high demand. If you are looking for a quieter, more relaxed experience, snowbird campgrounds in Texas are an excellent alternative.

Texas enjoys a similar climate, with winter highs in the 60s and 70s, and typically features low humidity and plenty of sunshine. You will enjoy beautiful weather without the long lines and packed beaches. Choosing Texas snowbird camping means more space, more peace, and the same great benefits.

At Jellystone Park™ Canyon Lake, located just over an hour from Austin, you will find breathtaking views of the Texas Hill Country, a peaceful resort atmosphere, and convenient access to nearby attractions. It is the ideal destination for snowbirds who want comfort, connection, and the authentic charm of Texas living.

Monthly Camping Options

Just like Florida, Texas monthly campgrounds offer a range of extended stay accommodations for snowbirds. Whether you travel in your RV or prefer the comforts of a cabin, you will find options that fit your style.

At our Texas snowbird campground, we offer spacious full hook-up RV sites with concrete pads, as well as luxury cabins with private bedrooms, full kitchens, and modern amenities. Each site provides the perfect balance of convenience and relaxation, giving you a true home away from home during your extended stay.

Snowbird Activities

Many snowbird campgrounds in Texas offer incredible amenities and activities that rival those in Florida, and Jellystone Park™ Canyon Lake is no exception. Here, every day brings new opportunities to relax, socialize, and have fun.

From cornhole and trivia nights to mini golf tournaments, cook-offs, and card games, friendly competition keeps things lively all season long. Join social activities like coffee socials or fireside gatherings where laughter and conversation flow as easily as the coffee. Looking for entertainment? Our Texas snowbird camping guests enjoy a full calendar of live music, karaoke, themed parties, and movie nights. You can also explore your creative side with Camper Creations, featuring hands-on art and candle-making classes. Prefer something more low-key? Join one of our clubs, where you can connect with fellow campers who share your interests, from walking groups to crafting circles. Many activities take place at Hill Country Hall, the heart of our community and a favorite spot for Winter Texans to gather and make lasting memories.

In addition to these activities, our Texas snowbird campground has other on-site activities to keep you busy from dawn to dusk! Enjoy an indoor pool, bark park for those bringing their furry friends with them, an on-site store, laundry facilities, and more!
