The Dyrt Announces the 2025 Best Places to Camp: Top 10 in the U.S.
PORTLAND, Ore., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dyrt, the only camping app that has it all — state and national park campgrounds, RV parks, glamping, and free campsites, along with millions of user-generated campground reviews — has announced the Best Places to Camp: Top 10 in the U.S. based on reviews and ratings from its vast community of campers. There are tens of thousands of campgrounds in America, but these 10 offer so much more than another weekend getaway or routine camping trip.
"Campers on The Dyrt are spread out across the whole country, and this list is a true reflection of what they consider the Best Places to Camp," says Sarah Smith, founder of The Dyrt. "When it comes to outdoor adventure bucket lists, climbers know the best mountains, hikers know the best trails and surfers know the best breaks. This is that list for campers. These are the campgrounds that exceed all expectations and provide extra-special lifelong memories."
These are The Dyrt's Best Places to Camp: Top 10 in the U.S.:
- Lost Lake Campground — Gunnison National Forest — Colorado
- Sandy Springs Campground — Ohio
- Split Rock Lighthouse State Park Campground — Minnesota
- Alabama Hills Recreation Area — California
- The Wall — South Dakota
- North Rim Campground — Grand Canyon National Park — Arizona
- White Star Campground — Pike-San Isabel National Forest — Colorado
- Scoria Pit — North Dakota
- Town Hall Road — White Mountain National Forest — New Hampshire
- Copper Falls State Park Campground — Wisconsin
The Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains — some of the most iconic topography in the country also serves as the home to some of the most legendary campgrounds. Whether camping with friends or family or just heading into the great outdoors on a solo trip, these places provide the ideal backdrop for whatever adventure you're on.
"One of the many reasons camping is so great is that after sourcing this list of the Best Places to Camp from our camping community, we found that four of the 10 are free," says Kevin Long, CEO of The Dyrt. "And the other six, you can reserve spots at all of them for $35 or less. That doesn't factor into how we select the winners, but it perfectly illustrates that camping is for everyone, and great camping is about appreciating nature, getting outdoors and leaving these places as beautiful as they were when you first found them."
The Dyrt's 2025 Camping Report Presented by Toyota Trucks found that the campsite crunch is still very real, as 56.1% of campers reported difficulty in securing reservations at some of the most popular campgrounds. For campers who encounter this issue at any of the Best Places to Camp or anywhere else this summer, The Dyrt Alerts help campers get reservations by scanning sold-out campgrounds and sending a text message when a site opens up.
