 We didn t actually camp, but we rented a cabin at Clear Creek State Park.  It was great!  There was no one there and it was beautiful.  I will post pictures on my site soon.  We re not brave enough to pop-up in this weather!

 If you are planning a trip to a cabin this winter, make sure you ask about the heat in the cabins.  A lot of the " rustic"  cabins do not have good heat, if any at all.  If you get the " modern"  cabins - they seem to all have gas or electric heat.  If you are planning a trip to Clear Creek, I can tell you which ones not to rent, just let me know.
 We had a bad experience[:@]... the cabin only got up to about 40 degrees all night!!  It was not a pleasant experience.  Also, I know if you don t ask about it when you make the reservation - they don t bother to tell you...

 ZooeyThe Indian Cabins at Cook Forest State Park all have very good heat at least all but the first 2 which have a fireplace (the people there seem to spend a lot of time chopping), even the bathrooms which they are in the process of remodeling.  The Indian Cabins only hold 4 people and I don t know about the heat in the larger ones[:)].
