You may have to search or dig deep to find some threads on it, but perhaps some folks will jump in here too.

Until I started to have significant medical issues, a group of us would go winter camping for a week on the full moon in February. The Boundry Waters Canoe Area was a favorite destination along with the upper peninsula of Michigan. We would live in the snow and have one heck of a time.

If you put your location in your profile, that could be helpful to someone wanting to suggest something for where you are. Like we go primitive camping in northern WI but our locations wouldn't be good for you if you're in say Europe.

There is also a thread for every state and most countries you can find here for yours:

May I ask why not? My body wouldn’t take it, but I’m trying to feel better. I want to make it to Alaska for a hiking trip to see the northern lights. Been there twice but had a motor home both times. You can call it camping, but not the same as being under the stars.

I don’t have a car anymore so it’s hard to do either. Plus the money for camping. There is a field near me with hiking trails but the trail from my neighborhood isn’t often mowed so we have to go the long way to get there plus I don’t like doing the same trails over and over and over again lol we used to go all the time when I had a car and drove. We being me and the dog.

I like camping with dogs. Don’t require much and can keep you warm at night. Some of my best friends have been dogs. Hopefully this summer, I will be able to pitch a tent on my property and take the granddaughters on an overnight with a camp fire. If I can keep them from being afraid, I think they will like laying under the stars. I got to get my knee healed from replacement surgery a couple of weeks ago first. My son, who lives about 6 hours away has expressed an interest in going out for a long weekend. I know a few good spots to meet half way. In my opinion, if you have the gear, camping is a fairly inexpensive way to get out and about. As long as my bride stays home to watch our ladies, I think I could escape for a few days. I’m sorry you don’t have a vehicle to take you to new places. That definitely puts a crimp in the idea of getting out and about.

Thanks! It definitely stinks but I’m hoping to maybe go with somebody this year. And that sounds fun!! I hope you get to do that!!
