Discover Five Top Destinations For Camping Holidays
Author: Peter Wilson
Camping is the best vacation for taking advantage of beautiful
weather and nature. To commune with the elements away from the
annoyances of modern life is one of the most satisfying
experiences available. If you are not the kind to pitch your own
tent, you could hitch a camper to the truck or even just book a
cabin in the wilderness.
So plan to get away by yourself or with some loved ones. There
is sure to be a site nearby that works for you, and prices are
always quite reasonable. If you are looking for a premium
camping experience, however, here are the top five camping
destinations in the United States.
1. America's Best Campground (A.B.C) is probably the most
technologically advanced camping destination on earth. Located
in Branson, Missouri, it is at the heart of the Live
Entertainment Capitol of the World. So pack up the RV and
reserve a spot complete with phone, satellite TV, and, of
course, electricity. Lounge on your site's concrete patio while
dinner is on the grill which is also provided. If RV camping is
a bit rustic for your taste, there are also cabins available as
long as you do not bring pets along. The shopping and
entertainment opportunities around A.B.C. can't be beat!
2. Petit Jean State park outside of Little Rock, Arkansas has
the honor of being the first State Park ever minted in the
United States. Offering the usual mix of cabins and campsites,
lakes and trails, the scenery is the real draw of this park.
Hike through Cedar Falls Trail, and be sure to bring your
inner-photographer along for the trip. The falls are
spectacular.
3. If you want to experience both land and sea, then don't
overlook Montana de Oro State Park in California. You can camp
on the beach and hike along bluffs that overlook colonies of sea
lions. No fires are allowed so be sure to pack your grill and
plenty of water. This is camping for those who are truly ready
to get away from modern life.
4. Ready to leave the mainland for a while? Then catch a ferry
out to Angel Island State Park off of San Francisco Bay. There
are only nine sites available, so reserve in advance. While
there, you can hike to the islands various tourist shops and
darling cafes. If you forgot your hiking boots, rent a bike and
explore the island's trails.
5. Those who want three vacations in one should reserve at Fort
Welikit Family Campground, located in South Dakota. There, you
will be a hop and a jump away from Custer State Park, Mount
Rushmore and Crazy Horse Mountain. Add in the cave tour and golf
courses, and this spot truly offers something for everybody.
Pets are welcome if you are tent camping or staying in an RV.
Camping holidays can be a great way to get away from everything
or spend quality time with your loved ones. Whatever your goal,
pack your map prepare to experience nature at her most
advantageous.

Branson is such a great city. I went down there with my fiance and his family last summer to visit Silver Dollar City and was able to see some great shows, as well as shop around at some of the stores. We didn't camp at A.B.C. as it was packed, but we loved the variety in Branson. We're planning another trip down there in two or three years. Next time we'll have to check out A.B.C. for sure!

This all sounds fine, if you live in a country where the weather is nice. Living in England however could lead to a particularly damp camping excusion. You're not even safe in the summer over here, coz sometimes it doesn't bother turning up. Camping does seem like a really good, low cost idea, especially if you have a family, or are going with a group of friends. You just have to be prepared to get wet over here!
