Besides living m my RV while waiting for the movers to bring my belongings to the new (to me) home in New Mexico, I did one other stint of winter camping.
That was in 2018 at Red Rock Park's campground during the annual balloon festival held in December. It snowed overnight while I was there, but with full hook-ups, I was snug as a bug in the RV. Needless to say, the hot-air balloons didn't launch.
RV Travel posted an article on having a successful winter camping trip.

The end of the season when it’s time to pack up the RV, winterize it, and put it in storage has always been a rather sad time. That is, until I was able to convince my husband that we could still RV—we just needed to do a little more prep and do without some of the fancy luxuries that an RV provides.
Let me tell you one thing about winter camping: There is no campground crowding! While the majority of private campgrounds close down in the winter, a lot of state and regional parks keep campgrounds open. They even plow a few select sites and have power on.
