All the merriment and celebration of December suddenly give way to the cold, lifeless reality of January. It’s time to pay the bills, fully engage at the office, and lose 10 or more pounds. According to PsychCentral (2018), January 24 is the most depressing day of the year. For me, getting through these very-real January Blues requires more than knowing that sunshine and daffodils are just a few weeks away. A healing weekend in the woods is clearly in order. Here are five fabulous places for a January glamp in Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina.

Stone Mountain Park, Atlanta

As one of the south’s largest campgrounds, we often tend to think of this as a destination for the summer months. But the park itself turns into a winter wonderland well into February, with a man-made snow tubing area. Two hours of tubing on the 400-foot hill is about $35 per person (check Groupon for deals), and includes unlimited time in the snow playing area. And winter makes for a much easier hike up and down the granite mountain (a must do), as well as exploration of the acres of historic attractions. Now, it’s important to get the right RV site at the campground (here’s how), but there are also a few glamper yurts that you can rent right along water’s edge.

St. Andrews State Park, Panama City Beach, Florida

If you’d rather head to the beach, St. Andrews State Park near the famous 30A is one of Florida’s most popular. Weather will be mild (average high of 63 degrees in January), and  the number of tourists will be sparse. One one side of the park is more than a mile of insanely beautiful beach on crystal clear water, and on the other is the bay. The campground sits on the bayside, making it ideal if you have a boat to bring along. In between are miles of trails, dunes and lakes, filled with native wildlife, migratory birds,  and flora. While some of the campground is still under repair from 2018’s Hurricane Micheal, 60 sites are currently available. Note that the deer tend to be exceptionally friendly here (alligators a bit less so).

disney’s fort wilderness campground and resort, orlando

How can I make a list without including our favorite campground of all? January is a splendid time for a trip to the Fort (and I may stay all month once I retire).  First of all, the rates are among the least expensive of the year (September is the other). And the holiday crowds are long gone, leaving us with a stealthy chance of getting the site that we really want.  Imagine the ease of walking into Trail’s End without a reservation, the peacefulness of an uncrowded boat ride to The Contemporary, and your increased odds of winning the prize (they are usually pretty swell) at Friday night Trivia. This is January.

Riverside log cabins, blowing rock, north carolina

Okay, so there’s no RV sites here, but the cabins are rustic yet dreamy.  A lot like a John Denver song. Besides, if you’ve ever made your way up the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the winter, you know that the ice and snow aren’t particularly friendly for towing. This small resort is within a stone’s throw (or a few miles) to some of the most enchanting places on earth. The quaint town of Blowing Rock has its romantic shops, markets and restaurants. Historic Valle Crucis beckons us to a picturesque village that feels like a Normal Rockwell painting. Nearby Grandfather Mountain might as well be called God’s Mountain because it is that breathtaking (take a walk on the swinging bridge for a real thrill). And of course, three ski resorts are all within about a 30-minute drive.

Jekyll Island CAMPGROUND, GEORGIA COAST

So, Jekyll Island Campground isn’t my personal favorite campground (although it is highly reviewed), but the island itself is like no other. I tend to glamp quite high-end during my annual week at Jekyll, and stay at the historic Jekyll Island Club Hotel. Nevertheless, the campground is well located near the fishing pier and instagrammable Driftwood Beach. And winter walks on the beach at Jekyll Island are an afternoon delight. It’s quiet, and you can expect to find at least 20 sand dollars on a 45-minute walk at low tide. The campground does have an old store, a few activities, and a laundry room. One of the most incredible experiences at Jekyll is to bike the 13-mile trail that circles the island, and the campground provides affordable rentals.
