Here it comes again – Thanksgiving. Ready for a different kind of holiday? Trying Thanksgiving camping in Arizona this November.
Yes, Thanksgiving is the start to the most wonderful time of the year. (Or not). And while many wouldn’t miss an opportunity to stuff their faces in the name of gratitude, for others, Thanksgiving is a difficult time to travel, and perhaps isn’t such a lovely time.
The holidays can be fraught with tensions of all kinds – the expectation of consumerism, chaotic schedules, travel snafus (that have already started), having to spend time with family members that (may or may not) stress us out, and more.
Here’s a novel idea. How ‘bout we round up our best buds (interpret how you will), pack up the teardrop with camping gear, and head out for a Thanksgiving camping trip instead?
Here are some great places to get your outdoors on if you decide to ditch Thanksgiving for the warmth of an unexpected destination: Arizona.
Sedona is a hot destination for those looking for a winter outdoor experience. Not only is it one of the most scenic places in Arizona, but it’s also known for its mild winter climate and day temperatures, perfect for vigorous outdoor activities. The area is flush with steep canyons, scenic buttes and pine forests, and the average temperature in November is a low of 48L and 58H in Fahrenheit.

The Grand Canyon is a great place to visit in winter. Temperatures can be moderate to cold (averaging 24L and 52H in November), but if you’re prepared, there’s nothing like the serenity that cannot be experienced in the tourist months. If you are lucky enough for a dusting of snow, the scenery can be nothing short of magic. The North Rim is closed during the winter, but the South Rim stays open year-round. Stick to areas beneath the rim to avoid excessive wind and cold.

Tucson is the no-brainer choice when it comes to outdoor activities in Arizona. While winter is the season of snowbirds, there is usually still ample space available in campgrounds. November temperatures, which fall between a low of 48F and a high of 74F, are some of the best that fall. Winter has to offer in the U.S. Great weather, breathtaking scenery, and ample outdoor activities make Tucson one of the most popular destinations to visit in fall and winter.
Visit these sides to find the best camping spots near Tucson, and explore hiking, road biking, mountain biking, rock climbing, ziplining, stargazing, and birdwatching opportunities.
It goes without saying that winter temperatures can suddenly drop anywhere, so if you are camping in winter, make sure to be prepared.
So, what are you waiting for? Call everybody you’re going to disappoint and tell them you’ll see them next Thanksgiving – maybe.
