Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is called the crown jewel of all parks in the US. And if you've ever been to this magical place, you know why. The stunning lakes, deep old forests and amazing glaciers are something you will never forget. It's also great for camping. Glacier is best known for its backcountry camping, but the frontcountry is convenient as well. Check out this guide if you want to find out about more types of camping.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park is another destination you might want to test your camping skills at. It's famous for its forest camping, amazing hikes and beautiful red rock scenery, you won't see anywhere else in the world. Make sure you book your camping spot well in advance, as the choice is very limited in this destination.

Banff National Park

Banff National Park is one of the most beautiful destinations on earth. It's packed with explorers wishing to marvel on the stunning scenery both during the winter and summer. Camping during the cold season in Banff creates wonderful opportunities for solitude. But you must have the proper gear. For that, I recommend checking out the winter camping gear guide by The Wild Guides, where they cover everything you need to know to stay safe in the snow.

North Cascades National Park

North Cascades National Park in Washington State is a paradise for wilderness lovers. Its green pine forests, crystal-clear lakes and snow-capped peaks are home to many species of flora and fauna. North Cascades has thousands of miles of amazing hiking trails and backpacking paths many people want to discover. And it has some great options for frontcountry camping with some great amenities. This park is especially great if you're car camping, as most of the campgrounds are easily accessible by car.

Point Reyes National Seashore

Not many people outside of California know about Point Reyes National Seashore. And that's another reason it's great. The main reason though, is the marvellous beaches, stunning scenery of the Pacific Ocean and the magical wildlife that roam this beautiful park. Point Reyes National Seashore also has some of the best camping in California. You can choose to stay in the frontcountry, but the best campgrounds they have are the walk-in ones. This means, you will need to walk a few miles from the car to your campground, but the location, solitude and wildlife you'll get to experience are definitely worth the effort!

Dinosaur National Monument

Dinosaur National Monument is another destination not many people have discovered yet. It's tucked right on the border between Utah and Colorado. And although many people choose some of the more known national parks (let's face it, both of these states are packed with amazing parks) you will be glad you chose to discover this amazing place. Dinosaur National Monument is perfect for families with kids and for the hardened explorers. The park has so much to offer, you will want to extend your trip here! The Dinosaur Monument has also some of the best campgrounds the US National Park Service has to offer.

To conclude

These 6 amazing camping destinations are some of the best on the continent. While some are so popular, you'll need to make sure you book well in advance, other campgrounds are still undiscovered and offer more solitude. No matter which destination of the 6 you pick, your camping getaway will be an experience you'll never forget.
