Editor's note: TheFamilyTravelFiles.com has just posted nine new Christmas camping ideas, each offering comfy tents, cozy cabins or lodges ideal for a winter family vacation base where having fun, sharing adventures, making discoveries, and creating memories is all part of the plan.

A cozy cabin or a special campsite makes camping at Christmas appealing to families who need time away from the commercial chaos often associated with the holiday season.

“Camping offers the possibility for fireside chats, stargazing, and a wide variety of unique experiences in a naturally peaceful setting,” according to Nancy Nelson-Duac, Curator of the Good Stuff for theFamilyTravelFiles.com. “Just assemble something old (comfy slippers), something new (the latest vacation app), something borrowed (a sled or a good book), and do something cool with your kids.”
