Why Texas is the Ultimate Hidden Gem for Snowbirds
Looking to head south for the winter? Florida is probably on your mind, but have you thought about trying something new this year? Snowbird camping in Texas offers many benefits to those looking to escape the cold. Keep reading to discover why Texas is a hidden gem for snowbirds!
What are Snowbirds?
Snowbirds are people who move south during the winter months in order to escape the cold. Typically retired, snowbirds are looking for a spot to live that offers warmer temperatures and plenty of on-site amenities. Once a snowbird finds the perfect place to stay, they make it their home every winter, becoming a tradition for their families.
Snowbird Camping in Texas
Florida tends to be the top destination for snowbirds. From warm temperatures, to a variety of things to do for retirees, Florida is a haven for snowbirds. With this being said, Florida also gets really crowded, as everyone has the same idea. If you're looking for a place that offers the same amazing benefits but with less crowds, we encourage you to try Texas snowbird camping!
Texas offers a similar temperature range to Florida, with highs in the 60s and 70s in winter months. If it does get warmer than Florida, Texas has dry heat and very little humidity - no need to tame those locks! Plus, you're guaranteed to experience fewer crowds while staying at a snowbird campground in Texas compared to Florida. It's a win-win!
At San Marcos River Resort, we are located just under an hour away from Austin along the San Marcos River. Enjoy breathtaking views of the river everywhere you turn in a peaceful and serene setting, while being a short distance from popular attractions in the city.
Monthly Camping Options
Just like Florida, Texas offers many accommodation options for fellow snowbirds. Whether you're looking for a hotel or cabin, or are looking somewhere to park your rig, there's bound to be something for everyone. At our Texas monthly campground, we offer a variety of spacious RV sites to choose from! With full hook-ups and concrete pads for RVers, you won't go wrong when booking an extended stay at our camping resort! View all of our extended stay accommodations here.
Snowbird Activities
Pickleball anyone? How about some horseshoes? Check and check. Many snowbird campgrounds in Texas offer the same amazing activities and amenities that you can find in Florida. The same activities PLUS fewer crowds?! Count us in!
In addition to pickleball and horseshoes, our Texas snowbird campground has other on-site activities to keep you busy from dawn to dusk! Our Texas camping resort also has an on-site fitness center, dog park for those bringing their furry friends with them, an on-site store, and laundry facilities.

Our camping resort is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where like-minded snowbirds can connect. With frequent gatherings, from themed events to casual meet-ups, and a variety of scheduled activities tailored just for snowbirds, you'll have plenty of opportunities to mingle and make lasting friendships.
