What is a Snowbird, Exactly?




In RV terms, a Snowbird is someone who travels to warmer southern locations during the cold winter months and back north (or wherever home may be) during the summer. It’s so common that many RV campsites advertise that they are “Snowbird Friendly!” There are some places such as Quartzsite, Arizona that have been nicknamed “white cities,” because from the air during peak Snowbird season the ground appears white, whereas after the Snowbirds head back north, the view from the air appears normal again. This is because of the thousands of RVs that canvas the areas so thoroughly during the winter months. Typically, this demographic is made up mostly of retirees, but in reality, Snowbirds of all ages flock to where the weather is best!
