Mohican State Forest north of Columbus, Ohio, USA has ten sites they call, "Park and Pack." You park your car and backpack into the sites. The closest is about 1/4 mile (1/2 km) and the furthest about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the closest parking lot. A tornado went through the area a couple years ago forcing all of the sites to be closed. Recently sites 1 - 7 were reopened.
This video contains several "How To" segments. Camping in winter, deep snow, and really cold temperatures requires a little more skill and awareness than you may think.

Site 4 was available so we set up camp on Friday morning and took 2 days to enjoy nature.
On Saturday we saw some people crossing a stream. It turned out to be Greg from the KZitem channel @TheGregOutdoors! Check out his channel.
This link takes you to the map provided by the state forest. You need to print your own map because they are rarely available onsite. This link is to the same map that is available when the ranger stations are open. Note that site 6 appears to have been moved because of the devastation caused by the tornado.
