America’s Top 100 Campgrounds

ReserveAmerica's Top 100 Family CampgroundsMy favorite camping tool, ReserveAmerica.com, announced their picks for America’s top 100 campgrounds yesterday. I love ReserveAmerica. The site allows you to search for campgrounds along your journey, and has easy to use maps of the actual campgrounds, clear information on what’s at each campground, and you can search all federal, state, county and some private parks as well. There are over 300,000 campsites, cabins, day use facilities and picnic areas in their database.

According to ReserveAmerica, “The “Top 100 Family Campgrounds” were selected based on criteria requested by family campers including park amenities, beautiful outdoor scenery, and educational facilities. The criteria included parks that offer hot showers, laundry facilities, hiking trails, family beaches, radio – free zones, visitor centers, educational programs, children’s events, and that are located within 100 miles of a metro location.”

You can find the lists (with clickable links from each of the winning campgrounds) on ReserveAmerica’s site, in the Camping Club Newsletter section, but the links are not working right now, so I’m going to post the winners. Hopefully they will fix their site so you can search the winning parks without cutting and pasting the names into their search bar. I’ve also included their top picks for biking, hiking, fishing and a lot of other great categories. If you’re planning a family road trip, be sure to try to fit in a few days of camping!
