Yosemite National Park, California
Why It’s Cool: Almost 95 percent of this park is designated wilderness—meaning no cars, no structures, no roads, and no electricity. After a night spent under the stars, hike up to Glacier Point, which overlooks the park’s famous Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and the High Sierra peaks. The Four-Mile Trail route takes about three to four hours each way. Looking for even more of a challenge? The Panorama Trail is about twice as long.
Where to Camp: There are 13 popular campgrounds scattered throughout the park, and reservations are strongly recommended from April to September. But seven campgrounds operate on a first-come-first-serve basis year-round. Backcountry camping is also allowed but requires a free wilderness permit (which can be reserved ahead of time).
When It’s Open: Year-round. Campgrounds vary by season.
Cost: $30 per vehicle for a seven-day pass ($25 from November to March). Campsites range from $6 to $26 per night. For more information, visit the park's website.
This Tactical Military Flashlight is great for camping:
