We're closed for the winter season... reopening April 24, 2026
by Angee Cozik December 16, 2025
Even though the campground is closed for the winter, the holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate the campers, adventurers, and Happy Acres superfans in your life. Whether they spend every weekend outdoors, roll in with their RV all season long, or just dream of warmer days by the pool, these gift ideas will bring a little Happy Acres magic to their holiday.
Here’s your Ultimate Happy Acres Holiday Gift Guide—packed with camper-approved favorites, thoughtful ideas, and personal picks from Angee herself.
You can’t go wrong with the gift of camping itself.
A Happy Acres gift certificate lets your favorite camper choose their perfect getaway—whether it’s a weekend retreat, a future summer stay, or a chance to pick up their favorite merch in the spring.

Using Happy Acres Gift Certificates for Merch
When one of our campers uses a Happy Acres gift certificate for merch, it always makes me smile. It means they want to remember their experience. A new sweatshirt, hat, mug, or tee always feels fun and fresh for the next season.

A comfortable camp chair is basically a camper’s throne. Look for something sturdy, folding, and easy to relax in—perfect for mornings with coffee or evenings by the fire.

My Favorite Rocking Camp Chair
This is my absolute favorite camping chair, and I grab it every single time—whether I’m relaxing by the fire or enjoying my morning coffee. It rocks, literally! The smooth rocking motion makes it incredibly comfortable, and it folds up easily without taking up much space.
Perfect for chilly camping mornings or cozy evenings outside the RV. Look for something soft, washable, and durable.
My Favorite Fleece Camping Blanket
This fleece blanket is my go-to. It’s super soft, doesn’t pick up debris (no leaves or sticks stuck to it!), and it’s so easy to wash.
Give them the taste of camping and winter in one adorable bundle—hot chocolate mix, mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate chips tucked into a cute mug. Add a bow and you've got the perfect gift.

Homemade S’mores Hot Chocolate Recipe
Instead of recommending a product here, I’m sharing my favorite S’mores Hot Chocolate recipe—I can't take credit for this one though. It was shared by Candace Bills, a seasonal camper at Happy Acres. This hot chocolate will make you dream of campsite fires. It’s rich, cozy, and tastes like Happy Acres in a mug.

Practical gifts campers actually use! Think surge protectors, leveling tools, outdoor mats, kitchen items, and clever space-saving tools.

My Everyday Telescopic RV Broom
This telescopic broom is one of my must-have RV gadgets, and I use it every single day in Boxie Cleopatra. It shrinks down tiny for storage but works just like a full-size broom. A total game-changer for RV life.
Hoodies, hats, tees, PJs—anything that lets campers show off their Happy Acres pride.

My Happy Acres Stocking Hat
Since we don’t offer winter merch sales, a Happy Acres gift certificate is the best way to gift apparel during the holidays. My personal favorite is our stocking hat—I wear it all winter. A fun reminder that camping season will be here before we know it.

Small, easy-to-gift items like travel toiletries, hand warmers, carabiners, keychains, or mini lanterns.
My Go-To Bug Repellent Lotion
Bugs love me. They find me first. This lotion is the only thing that works for me—no smell, no sticky feeling, just protection that actually lasts. I never camp without it.
Card games, dominoes, pickleball paddles, and disc golf discs all make great gifts that don’t take up much space.

Our Go-To UNO Game Pack
Kevin and I love UNO. This 3-pack is perfect because it gives us fun variations to mix things up, and they’re tiny enough to store easily in Boxie Cleopatra. They’re our go-to campfire game.
String lights, soft lanterns, and campsite ambiance make evenings magical.
(Future) Happy Acres Outdoor Lighting Fan 😉
I don’t have any outdoor campsite lighting yet… which means this section doubles as a holiday hint hint if anyone out there is shopping for me. I’ll report back once I find “the one!”
Our four-legged campers deserve a little holiday love, too—treats, toys, blankets, or RV-friendly bowls.

My Favorite No-Spill Dog Water Bowl
This is by far my favorite dog RV item. It works like a charm and we haven’t had a single spill—even while driving. Perfect for messy drinkers or bumpy roads.
Whether you choose something cozy, practical, or just plain fun, these gifts help campers carry a piece of Happy Acres into the winter months.
And for the simplest, most-loved option?
A Happy Acres gift certificate is always the perfect fit.

A quick mid-winter RV check helps you catch issues early — before they become expensive or overwhelming in the spring.
