  • The best camping spots in the US

    Since it’s the beginning of November, one would think that the weather is not warm enough for camping in the temperate regions. But if it’s not raining and the weather is mild enough, why should you not go out in the nature for a few days at least? Besides, in the fall season you won’t have to worry about insect bites, heat rashes and dog days.

    All you need is a good tent and a warm sleeping bag, a pot to heat water in, and some good humor. After all, there is no obstacle that a creative camper can’t overcome. So here are the best camping spots in the US, where you can commune with nature for a while.

    Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky

    Basically any part of Kentucky’s cave and lakes region is just perfect for a few nights of camping, but the safest option is to camp in the national park, where four designated camping sites are available for visitors. While these campsites are well organized and generally safe, the camping experience is somewhat diminished by the fact that you will be surrounded by lots of other people doing the same as you.

    So if you a more secluded place where you won’t be disturbed, you should consider backcountry camping, on the North Side, for example. There are over a dozen campsite there, and if you’re lucky you won’t meet another living soul in the area.

    Yosemite, California

    Many people consider Yosemite as the most beautiful park in the US, so if you want to camp in the middle of nature surrounded by amazing landscapes, this is the place to go. Unrestricted camping is no longer allowed in Yosemite because it was deemed to dangerous for the environment, but you can still take advantage of one of the thirteen excellent camping grounds in the park. About half of the camping sites work on the basis of reservations, so you will need to call ahead.

    Acadia National Park, Maine

    Maine might be a bit chilly this time of the year, but even if you decide not to visit it this autumn, it is a place you should keep in mind for future camping trips. But Acadia is beautiful in the fall season, and you might still catch a glimpse of the fall foliage, so adding a few layers of clothes is not such a big sacrifice.

    There are two campsites in Acadia, very clothes to the ocean, where you can set up tents or park trailers. For the more adventurous, there’s also the option of primitive camping (that is, camping with no conveniences).

    Yellowstone, Wyoming

    Yellowstone is another iconic US national park that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. It is the oldest national park in the entire world, and after over a century of existence, it is still one of the most popular. Camping in Yellowstone is as close to nature as you can get anywhere.

    There are twelve campsites in the park, and countless others in its vicinity, but considering the large number of visitors, making a reservation is always a good idea.

    Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

    The majestic mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park are the perfect backdrop for a relaxing camping holiday. Whether you feel like seeing a lush forest of a frozen mountain tundra, here you will find what you want. There are five campgrounds in the park which can be accessed by car.
