Camping is a staple holiday with stunning resorts the world over offering scenic and adventurous getaways for visitors of all ages. There are a host of popular camping resorts, including some in far-flung and exotic locations.

From the rocky mountains of Colorado to the National Parklands in Maine, the United States of America offers an incredible opportunity for anyone who wants to enjoy an outdoor break.

3 of the Best Camping Excursions in North America

In order to understand this further, it is important to look at some of America’s most popular camping hotspots and the unique details that define them. Here are our three top picks: –

a) The Acadia National Park in Maine

Let’s start in Maine, where the stunning but criminally underrated Acadia National Park takes a prominent position with more than 17 million acres of forest. It includes 6,000 lakes and ponds, while it is also home to 32,000 miles of rivers, streams and lakes. Located on the wonderful Mount Desert Island, it is ideal for campers and nature lovers of all ages while it is also suitable for travellers with minimal outdoor experience.

For those with a sense of adventure, however, your best bet is to hike to the summit of Cadillac Mountain and take in the sunset before settling down to the night. This would also make you the first person to see the sun in the U.S when it rose again the next morning.

b) The Grand Canyon in Arizona

Included in one of America’s largest National Parks, the Grand Canyon is a stunning camping resorts that connects you with nature like no other. It is also accessible as part of a tour offered by the reputable Trek America brand, with the company having recently merged its Northern and Southern coastal tours with take in Miami, Chicago, the planes of Nevada and the Canyon itself.

This epic, 63-day tour focus heavily on the stunning Canyon location, however, with its beautiful gorges and plunging water falls among the most spectacular natural sights in the world. This remains one of the most globally popular camping resorts, although it is probably most-suited to experienced travellers.

This offers a more rustic experience, and one that is located in the North East of the country. The appeal of this location relies heavily on the White Mountains, which tower over New Hampshire and provide the sort of rugged, thrilling hiking trails that expose visitors to beguiling natural beauty. As challenging as it is rewarding, the Appalachian range is particularly popular and tailored towards those with at least some outdoor knowledge.

You should travel to this location during the autumn, as during this time the foliage turn to sallow shades of red, orange and sun-kissed yellow.
