58 Campgrounds for 58 National Parks

Brian Kendall

Ask any national park lover, and he or she will tell you the best way to experience a national park is to fill up your air mattress, pitch a tent and nestle in a sleeping bag after dimming your lantern. In other words, by the time you leave, you should have the stench of days-old sweat and the aura of the park’s beautiful landscape embedded in your skin and clothing. After all, you can’t do a national park justice by commuting back and forth from a motel.

Here are 58 campgrounds you should consider as you aim to visit every national park our vast, gorgeous country has to offer.
