  • Cape Henlopen State Park
  • Delaware State Parks, Lewes DE
  • Expensive but perfect beach campground. Close to the lovely and user friendly towns of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach.

  • Devils Canyon Campground
  • Manti-Lasal National Forest, Monticello UT
  • On a hill, some sites have a great sunset view. New and very well laid out

  • Cape Blanco Campground
  • Oregon State Parks, Port Orford
  • Bike one way to a lovely lagoon, walk the other way to to beach, nice sites high on the bluffs. A really nice campground.

  • Nickerson State Park
  • Massachusetts State Parks, Brewster, MA
  • large, spacious, in the strategic near end of Cape Cod

  • Big Spring Campground
  • Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Van Buren MO
  • Used to be a state park, but they gave it to the Feds for some reason. [After my experience the next few days with state parks, I can see it. The layout is quite similar to Bennett Springs and Roaring River.] There's a loop with hookups and a small loop without, which for some reason was where everybody was. I was the only person in the huge expanse of the main loop. My site had pretty good shade in the morning, most didn't. Showers are a short drive down the road, but that's way better than no showers.

  • Barnwell State Park
  • South Carolina State Parks, Barnwell SC
  • pretty but nondescript little spot in the interior of the state. Really nice fall colors when I was there, big yellow leaves covering everything!

  • Brazos Bend State Park
  • Texas State Parks, Needville TX
  • Unexpectedly wonderful place! Alligators, zillions of birds, nice hikes

  • Copperfield Campground
  • Idaho Power, Oxbow OR
  • Right on the Snake River below the Oxbow Dam. On the Oregon side of the river, but run by Idaho Power. Grassy and pleasant and remote.

  • Amanita Campground
  • Boise National Forest, Cascade ID
  • 10 site campground on the quiet side of Cascade Lake. 6 miles from the main road (55), which is a feature rather than a drawback once you get here! Site 7 is the bomb!

  • Farm Island Campground
  • South Dakota State Parks, Pierre SD
  • Nice place. Expensive, but nice. Only about 4 miles from the sports bar where I spent the afternoon. Both Dakotas do this trick where the campsite is $22, but non-residents must also pay the $6 entrance fee. I don't like it. The Swimming Beach is really nice. A huge area to swim in, shallow to enough to stand up 50' out.

  • Sardine Campground
  • Tahoe National Forest, Sierra City CA
  • busy but pretty quiet, very scenic. nature trail. a short hike past the swimming pond to a great sunset over non-swimming Sardine Lake, shining off the Sierra Buttes to the left.

  • South Llano State Park
  • Texas State Parks, Junction TX
  • nice campsites, couldn't hike near the campground because it was turkey mating season. A herd (flock?) of wild turkeys came through in the morning, very cool!

  • Kiptopeke State Park Campground
  • Virginia State Parks, Cape Charles, VA
  • Expensive for the non-resident, but a nice campground in a spectacular location, on the Chesapeake Bay just a few miles north of where it meets the Atlantic. There is a cool little boardwalk access to the beach, where you can walk along the beach to the boat ramp/picnic area/fishing pier a little south. Really fun place.

  • Ocean Pond Campground
  • Osceola National Forest, Olustee FL
  • pretty spot next to the lake

  • Campland By the Bay
  • Mission Bay, San Diego CA
  • Epically deluxe RV park: pool, hot tubs, beach, playgrounds. In the middle of San Diego, two miles from Pacific Beach ocean beach, four miles from Balboa Park.

  • Sutton Campground
  • Suislaw National Forest, Florence OR
  • Nice clean bathroom, no shower, near 101 but quiet, 20 yards out of the campground you're in the sand dunes

  • Alley Spring Campground
  • Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Eminence MO
  • Another very nice, well maintained campground built around another gorgeous freshwater spring. The one has Alley Mill, a grist mill driven by the outflow of Alley Spring - now a park info center. The mill is a short walk from the campground. If you hunt around for it there is swimming access to the river (swinning in the spring outflow, that's a no no in all these parks).

  • Merrill Campground
  • Lassen National Forest, Susanville CA
  • huge-ass campground on ever-diminishing Eagle Lake. Full of giant RVs with hookups and run by a concessionaire, so it is much more bureaucratic and rule-bound that most. Site 159 is pretty sweet, unobstructed lake view (150 yds away), open, but the tall pine behind (south of) me give it pretty good afternoon shade.

  • Leach Park
  • city park, Spencer IA
  • very user-friendly, downtown right across the bridge, and next to a rec complex with bike paths, tennis courts, swimming pool, etc.

  • Eagle Campground
  • Lassen National Forest, Susanville CA
  • very pretty, next campground has wifi, level enough to bike around

  • Downstream Campground
  • Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Peck MT
  • A very pleasant campground in the Army Corps style, which is to say well-engineered down to the small details. There is a little network of paved trails over to the Dam Glorification/Dinosaur Museum and through the marshes.
