What
Are The Best Campsites in the US?
No summer is complete without a weekend
in the Great Outdoors. Camping is a great way to get away
from the everyday life and indulge oneself in a little adventure.
To lay out beneath the stars, or in an RV, and bond with
nature can be great therapy. Whether you choose to RV beside
a lake, rent a cabin in the woods or pitch a tent, take time
out for yourself and enjoy all nature has to offer you.
Camping can be enjoyed as an individual or as a family.
Campsites are available almost everywhere and are usually
not too far from home and are very affordable. Every state
has its own selections of campsites to choose from, but if
you are willing to travel for the best, here are the top
five best campsites in the United States.
1.
A.B.C. (America’s Best Campground) in Branson, Missouri, the Live Entertainment Capitol of the World. A.B.C. offers
162 RV and tent campsites with electric, satellite T.V.,
and phone service hook ups. There is also a concrete patio,
table and grill available at each site. Pets are welcome,
as long they are kept on a leash and you clean after them.
Camping Cabins and Deluxe Cabins are available complete with
air conditioning, heat, T.V., bathroom, kitchenette, covered
porches, picnic table, grill, and outdoor hydrant. No pets
or smoking are allowed within the cabins. Branson offers
plenty of attractions like amusement parks, dinner shows,
and outlet malls and so much more all within a reasonable
driving distance from camp.
2.
Petit Jean State Park near Little Rock, Arkansas is the
legendary first State Park in the U.S. This campsite features
127 campsites and 33 cabins. The park offers playgrounds,
picnic areas, swimming, and hiking trails. Camping equipment
is also available for rent. While you’re there, walk along
the Cedar Falls Trail and you will come across the majestic
Cedar Falls’ Water Fall and be amazed. Take your camera along
for this one, there are so many beautiful sites and area
attractions you might want to capture the moments so they
may last a life time.
3.
Montana de Oro (meaning “Mountain of Gold”) State Park
in Southern California is a beautiful place for camping on
a beach. It’s most popular for the ocean access, wide array
of golden flowers, and hiking trails. A walk along the bluff
reveals a steep drop off with a fantastic view of sea lion
colonies. There are four locations available for hike-in
only campers and you must bring your own supplies. There
are no camp fires allowed and you must bring your own small
grill and pack your own bottled water. At Montana de Oro,
you will be truly “roughing it” so don’t forget your hiking
boots.
4.
Angel Island State Park located in San Francisco Bay can be your own private island paradise.
You are transported
to the island by a ferry boat, where only a handful of campers
and rangers pitch their tents for the night. At night while
you breathe in the cool salty air, you can view the flamboyant
lights of San Francisco and have a phenomenal view of the
Golden Gate Bridge. There are nine campsites available, with
a picnic table, running water, pit toilet and barbeque grill.
There are trails to hike around the island where you can
find shops, bicycle rentals and the Cove Café. Angel
Island has a lot more shops and activities, if you have the
hiking boots to walk the trails you can discover everything
paradise has to offer.
5.
Fort Welikit Family Campground is in South Dakota. Camping
is near three large lakes and is less than an hour away from
all the area attractions, such as, Mount Rushmore, Crazy
Horse Mountain, Custer State Park’s Buffalo, caves and many
golf courses. Fort Welikit offers horse camping with several
major trails. RV hook up, tent area and cabins are also available.
Pets are allowed anywhere but inside the cabin rentals. This
campground also offers on site trailer rentals and propane
sales.
The Travel Industry Association reports camping to be the
number one outdoor activity in the United States and is enjoyed
by citizens from all walks of life. Pack up your backpacks,
load up the maps and grab a compass and prepare to create
memories to last a lifetime.
