We went to Arrowhead Provincial Park from February 15th to the 18th, 2024 for the family day long weekend. In the midst of an unusually warm winter with little snow we found the perfect weekend of cold temperatures and a dumping of fresh snow. We stayed in one of 13 cabins in the park. We snowshoed several trails and skated on the 1.3 km skating rink and even did the Fire & Ice Night where the ice rink is lined with lit tiki torches for a unique and amazing experience.

We've been getting a lot of questions about drone usage in this video. Rest assured, no drone was used at any point in this video. All the shots that might look similar to a drone shot were done with a 360 camera on a very long selfie stick.

This was so nice to see all the offerings for winter camping. We were up there just before Christmas and they were already getting prepared for the winter activities. They do put a lot of work into it. I so remember that Mayflower trail from a few years back. You almost need to be a goat to get up that one hill🤣. Very nice to know about the library lending stuff out. Was also very nice to meet you’s at the Outdoor Show in Toronto. Keep up the great work.❤️

Sorry, I just saw your comment from 13 days ago. Somehow it was in by "Held for review" folder. The Insta360 X3 allows shots from some very interesting vantage points. It has to be in bright outdoor light to look good though. If it's in shade or indoors the quality of the image isn't as good. I'm still learning how best to use it and having fun figuring out what shots to use it for.

Hello Cheryl & Dave from Virginia. I really enjoyed this vlog. We are RVers, but we have never thought about outing the winter, like at a cabin. We would have to go to the mountainous parts of Virginia to even see snow down here, but after watching this, we would do it!!! We have never been ice skating, only roller skating. Cheryl, I know I would be using that green rollator on ice. 🤣🤣 No shame in my game.😂😂 Dave, you showed me that snowshoes are not a paddle board. You make paddle boarding look easy. Keep enjoying life and the seasons. God bless both of you.

Great video, your camera work is getting really good! Also a great tip about libraries, and it was nice to have a detailed tour around the cabin and see all the park activities. Is the off-season roofed accommodation as difficult to book as summer campsites (7am exactly 5 months before)?
@CampingwiththeColes
@CampingwiththeColes 3 месяца назад
I believe that the roofed accommodation is even more difficult to get than a site in the summer because there are so few of them. We didn't look into going until about 3 months prior and of course the entire winter season was fully booked. We were lucky to snag a cancellation. We were trying for a minimum of 3 nights anytime in February. We didn't realize we got the family day long weekend until a few weeks before. Thanks for watching.

They do the Fire & Ice every weekend, usually starting sometime in January and ending in March. It's all dependant on the weather. If you query "Provincial Park Snow Report" you can check what is open and not open at the park. They update it everyday letting you know if the rink is open or closed.

Hey guys, nice meeting you at the Toronto RV Show. We've talked about the difficulties in booking PP sites in the past and at that show, someone told me that trailers up to 32' can be dropped on any site allowing trailers, despite the site asking you and restricting the available sites for you based on your trailer length. Our trailer is a 18' so we are able to choose any site, however we would like to go up to 27' - 31' feet but are concerned this will make it even more difficult to book sites in PPs. Do you agree the booking trailer length question is not important as long as you are under 32 feet? Thanks! P.S. If you are planning any US-based trips this year or next, I would suggest Watkins Glen. The State Park is incredible, the area very picturesque with its vineyards, lakes, music festivals, NASCAR races, and pretty town to stroll through. Best of all, for only $30 bucks, you can do 3 hot laps on the Watkins Glen Speedway with your vehicle and take photos on the finish line! We did this and it was a blast!
@CampingwiththeColes
@CampingwiththeColes 3 месяца назад
Hey, it was nice meeting so many people at the show. Regarding trailer length, I don't agree that you would be able to dump a 32 foot trailer on any trailer site. Often when it shows a shorter length like under 18 feet or under 25 feet it has to do with the size of the site, or the ability to maneuver into a site or the roadway leading to the site. I would never book a small trailer site for our trailer unless I actually had been to that site before and I knew we'd be able to get to it and fit on it. The living compartment of our trailer is 25 feet (model 254DSX) but from hitch to rear bumper it's about 30 feet. We will search for sites for trailers up to 25 feet but will take up to 32 feet if it's available. I'd never try to reserve a site for trailers under 18 feet unless I actually knew the site. Funny you suggest Watkin's Glen because we've been there twice in the past and we loved it and we already have it booked for this summer.

@CampingwiththeColes
@CampingwiththeColes 3 месяца назад
We often get sites closer to the dates because of cancellations. That's how we reserved this cabin three months before arrival. This year we've done well for reservations but then again we've mostly booked May and June in less popular parks and available to go during the week. The only long weekend we're booking is the May two four. Your best bet is the Notify Me button. Make sure your cell phones notifies you for emails and jump on fast once you get the email. Good luck!

Great idea about the portable toilet! Are there any regulations about bringing one? I'm going tent camping with my 4 yr old at Fitzroy this summer and it would sure help me out (solo parenting camping.) Love the videos. Thanks!

No rules about them. When we tent camped Cheryl would keep one in the vestibule. It's especially handy at night.

Lots of exciting news, RV Lifestyle magazine should offer discount code for “ Camping with the Coles “ subscribers 🤔 Question: you did Arrowhead winter camping, would you do it again?
@CampingwiththeColes
@CampingwiththeColes 3 месяца назад
We would absolutely do it again! It was awesome. Maybe do it some other time than the family day long weekend though, because it was very busy.

Not a pleasant looking drive

It was a pretty nasty drive there. On the way back it cleared up around Barrie, then we had an easy drive.
