Spotting wildlife and melting s'mores over a campfire are only two of the great things you can do. At sites around the country you can stargaze, ride bikes and so much more. In the Great Outdoors you'll see true magnificent beauty.
To get started on your adventure all you need is to start a little research around the Internet and outdoor magazines. National parks around the country are always popular camping vacation areas. The Grand Canyon and Yosemite national parks are just two of the breathtaking opportunities. Beyond the big-name parks you'll find that there are lots of one-of-a-kind opportunities waiting. If you want to see another amazing canyon besides the Grand, try the Forty Mile Canyon in Utah. You can traverse the deep slopes of this magnificent canyon and weave your way through the sturdy cotton-wood trees. The canyon's waterfall and pool ensure you won't burn out on your hike.
If youre looking for a spectacular summit view, consider the San Gorgonio Mountain in California. The mountaintop over 11,000 feet up lets you see a gorgeous sprawling view of Southern California. Away from the buildings of the city, you'll see the sky in a brand new way. Though they may be smaller, there are many mountain and hilltop peaks in the eastern US that present unrivaled views.
For unique camping adventures, don't be afraid to look for undiscovered and little-known areas. If you're looking to bare it all, consider the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan. Lake Superior offers a great atmosphere in its clean, freshwater depths for swimming and nature watching. For optimal stargazing away from the concrete and smog of the city, a great place to camp is Mount Wrightson Wilderness in Arizona. The sky looks rich and amazing from this high perch. For the best rest and relaxation mixed into your adventure, consider the many islands and trails of Hawaii.
From sunbathing and swimming to eating and drinking, campsites offer some of the best entertainment around. There's no better way to appreciate nature than to go outside and experience. Everywhere you look there's plenty of nature's bounty to experience and enjoy.
