As winter snows begin to blanket Colorado, campgrounds are transformed into winter wonderlands.
Some have their own unique onsite activities, such as sleigh rides, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, while others serve as base camps for winter festivals or organize their own unique winter activities, which range from wine tastings and gourmet dinners to workshops in wilderness survival, winter sketching and winter photography.
Private horse drawn sleigh rides are available at Winding River Resort in Grand Lake, Colo., which also has a fleet of 70 snowmobile rentals that can be rented to anyone with a driver’s license. While the resort’s campsites are buried in snow in winter, the 8,800-foot park has heated rental cabins with bathrooms and kitchens.
