Things to know about winter camping

• As the winter notes show, some sites shut off water or kitchens in winter, and some only open cleared pitches.
• Some sites open only on limited winter days (weekends only, closed over New Year, etc.), so check the official site before booking once you have dates.
• Allow extra time on winter roads. Pass closures are in Hokkaido roads that close in winter.

For other campgrounds, see the Hokkaido campground list, which you can filter by power, year-round opening and distance from the airport.

Renting a campervan

Which companies rent campervans in winter depends on the airport.
