If you think vanlife slows down in winter, think again. The Midwest has some incredible cold-weather getaways within a few hours of Chicago. Starved Rock State Park offers frozen waterfalls and quiet trails. Kettle Moraine State Forest in Wisconsin is perfect for snowshoeing, and Indiana Dunes National Park provides a peaceful lakeshore escape even in January.
