Snowbird camping in Northern California offers many benefits to those looking to escape the cold. Keep reading to discover why Northern California 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.
