The Dyrt, a camping app featuring state and national park campgrounds, RV parks, glamping sites, free camping options, and user-submitted reviews—has released its list of the Top 10 Best Places to Camp in the U.S. Based on ratings and reviews from its nationwide community, these standout destinations rise above tens of thousands of other campgrounds.
The Dyrt’s best places to camp
1. Lost Lake Campground, Gunnison National Forest, Colorado
2. Sandy Springs Campground, Ohio
3. Split Rock Lighthouse State Park Campground, Minnesota
4. Alabama Hills Recreation Area, California
5. The Wall, South Dakota
6. North Rim Campground, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
7. White Star Campground, Pike-San Isabel National Forest, Colorado
8. Scoria Pit, North Dakota
9. Town Hall Road, White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire
10. Copper Falls State Park Campground, Wisconsin
“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 also discovered 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.

Thank you for sharing the list, RV Travel. No, never have been to any unless I count driving through the access road for The Wall in our Jeep and noting the number of RVs stuck and unable to reach or leave their campsite this past May. 😉 Have a great day and safe travels!
