COLD WEATHER CAMPING

Why camp in the cold?

First the question must be asked – why camp when it’s cold?

Well, there are a few reasons, the first being – the stars! Shorter days and clearer skies mean amazing opportunities to see the stars so clearly you could touch them... or at least instagram them!

The next reason – space – you won't be cramming into a campsite with a hundred other people on your doorstep! The next, and perhaps best reason, is the view. Very few people actually appreciate the true beauty of winter. Cold weather can make a place ethereal, like transporting yourself to a different world, a world that’s just for you, thus giving you epic bragging rights.

That said preparation is key. Never be caught out by being under-prepared! It’s always best to know the area you're travelling too, make sure you're comfortable you're prepared for the environment and its climate (and a little bit more besides). Always check the Metservice to make sure you're not heading into anything risky and let people know where you're going.
