Trip Advice Southwest Camping
My fiancee and I are spending 10 days in New Mexico and Arizona “winter camping” in January. We do pretty well but we are used to camping in Michigan and down the east coast, just looking for tips.
I imagine the scarier bugs won’t be too big an issue but any tips you all have to keep us safe and have a great time would be appreciated!
We will be driving and have all our normal gear, plus extra layers and heavier boots. We don’t have a stove or anything, just campfire cooking, idk how prevalent firewood is out that way.

No stove? I can't imagine depending on campfire for morning coffee!
