Snowbird Season Begins: Why Western Sands RV Is the Perfect Winter Home Base

As temperatures begin to cool across much of the country, October signals the start of snowbird season. For many RVers and Park Model owners, this is the time to head south, slow down, and settle in for a comfortable winter stay. At Western Sands RV, October marks the return of familiar faces and the arrival of new guests looking for a welcoming winter home base.

October Marks the Start of Snowbird Season

Experienced snowbirds know that October is an ideal time to travel. Roads are generally less crowded, weather conditions are more predictable, and RV and Park Model resorts designed for longer stays begin welcoming winter residents.

According to Escapees RV Club, many RVers plan seasonal travel specifically to avoid harsh winter weather while enjoying a more relaxed pace of life — making October a natural starting point for snowbird living.
