10 of our favourite National Park campgrounds.

1 – Watchman / Zion
This campground is located at the South Entrance and is only a short walk to the visitor centre. It is also on the free Zion shuttle route, so you can get to all areas of the park.
2 – Canyon / Yellowstone
Nothing prepares you for the magical world that is Yellowstone, the world’s first ever national park. This site is located just south of the mighty Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Marvel at geysers, mountains, forests and lakes and of course, wonderful wildlife.
3 – Mather / Grand Canyon
Its only a mile to the South rim! That tells you everything you need to know. But it also lies beneath a beautiful canopy of Ponderosa pines and has lots of facilities for campers.
4 – Upper Pines / Yosemite
All about location! Situated in the heart of the beautiful Yosemite Valley. Lots of hiking trails start from the campground and on a warm day you can easily access the Merced river for a spot of rafting.
5 – Smokemont / Great Smoky Mountains
Surely a visit to the most popular national park in the USA is on your list!  This Campground is surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges, with pristine mountain streams and rivers setting the backdrop for your camping adventure.
6 – Many Glacier / Glacier
This is the most popular campground in the stunning Glacier National Park. As the name suggests you are very close to some spectacular glaciers. Also, don’t forget your binoculars here as there is plenty of opportunities to see bighorn sheep, moose and bears.
7 – Cedar Pass / Badlands
If you want to experience breath-taking sunrises and sunsets, colourful flowers and as much wildlife you can point your camera at, then stay here. Oh, and the rugged beauty of the sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles all add up to a magical stay.
8 – Flamingo / Everglades
Fancy the southern tip of mainland Florida? how about this this campground in the Everglades National Park. Surrounded by hiking and canoe trails and loads of opportunities to see crocodiles and manatees.
9 – Devils Garden / Arches
This campground is located deep within this beautiful park. It is forested with Juniper and Pine which offers a great contrast to the surrounding red rock desert. For the active, there are hiking trails that start within the campground.
10 – Fruita / Capitol Reef
This campground is often referred to as a ‘oasis in the desert’. Adjacent to the Fremont river it is only a short walk to the visitor centre where you can find the information on this hidden treasure of a National Park.
