One major travel trend that has been seeing a big increase among Americans recently is camping, with reports indicating that at least 58 million households went camping in America last year, and the number is only expected to rise in 2023.
Campspot, an online booking platform for North American campsites, recently released its list of the best campsites across North America.
With choices ranging from family campgrounds, cabins, RV resorts, and glamping, Campspot helps campers narrow down the vast array of options they face when choosing where to stay.
This list is especially helpful as anyone planning on heading to a National Park this summer might find them quite busy and unavailable unless reserved well ahead of time.
