“For almost a decade we’ve been making it easier and easier for campers to find the information they need to make the most of their outdoor experiences,” said Kevin Long, The Dyrt’s CEO. “Our community has contributed and shared over four million reviews, photos and tips for fellow campers to use when planning their trips in all 50 states. Using this data, we created these regional top 10 lists of unbelievable camping spots so that, no matter where you are, you can find an awesome place to camp nearby.”
For the purpose of these rankings, the country was split up into nine regions:
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: Great Plains
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: Mid-Atlantic
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: Midwest
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: Mountain West
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: New England
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: Northwest
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: Southeast
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: South/Southwest
- 2022 Best Places To Camp: West
The 90 highly rated campsites contained in these lists are located on both public lands and private property. They are within national, state and county parks. They include campgrounds, RV parks, dispersed camping areas and more adjacent to rivers and lakes, up in the mountains and out on an island. There’s something for everyone, everywhere, according to the release.
“The camping community has grown so much over the years and is becoming more representative of our country as a whole,” said Sarah Smith, founder of The Dyrt. “Campers come in all shapes and sizes with different wants and needs and these top 10 lists reflect that. There are luxurious camping resorts, family-friendly spots, some sites that are near cities and others out in the middle of nowhere. Amenities range from Olympic-size pools and dog parks to nothing but a flat piece of ground with a view. There’s something special about each place.”
