I am  writing about perfect camping grounds in Us in this blog post. How many times in your life you have parked your car midway on your trip, just to admire a scenic spot such as:

  • A thin waterfall
  • Gurgling mountain stream
  • A lakefront with the backdrop of a forest with incredible fall colors
  • Just a quiet place where your boxed lunch is shared by squirrels and mynas
  • A sprawling water body that invited to fish in it
  • A sparkling lagoon that is irresistible to plunge in for a swim

Well, I stopped at such places more than my scheduled stops at my intended destination. I am sure, you are with me this far.

Those are perfect camping grounds to admire nature. Of course, you can only stop your car and stay just for a few minutes allowing the beauty of the place to sink in; you may not be allowed to pitch your tent.

However, what if I show you such gorgeous places that are super ideal to set up your camp or park your RV? Yes, there are numerous camping sites across the U.S. and some of them are pre-built perfect camping grounds where you can camp with an official nod.

The great United States is blessed with eye-catching camping grounds all over the nation. This blog post will act as a resource for most scenic and most perfect camping grounds in United States.
