Best Camping In Midwest USA Part 1

Peninsula State Park, Wisconsin
Why It’s Cool: Fun options include an 18-hole golf course, volleyball courts, boating, hiking, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. Eight miles of shoreline (right on Green Bay) call to water lovers and boaters, while miles of bike trails make for a more rigorous workout before spending the night under the stars.


Where to Camp: The park has five campgrounds with a mix of electric and nonelectric sites. Reservations are recommended. Backcountry camping is not allowed.



When It’s Open: Year-round from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. (except for campers, who are obviously allowed to stay overnight).


Cost: A vehicle admission sticker is required for park entry. Daily stickers are available for $7 (with WI license plates) or $10 (for out-of-staters), while annual stickers are available for $25 or $35. For more information, visit the park's website.


When outdoors it is always important to protect your eyes, and these Polarized Military Sunglasses are perfect for hiking, camping or just enjoying a great view:

Best Camping in USA Mountain States Part 7



Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho
Why It's Cool: The Smoky Mountains (part of the Rocky Mountains) are so steep and majestic, they look like a vista straight out of Europe—especially in the summertime when the wildflowers speckle the scenic views with splashes of color.
Where to Camp: There's a laundry list of campgrounds, but we recommend the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, specifically at Redfish Lake.
When It's Open: The Sawtooth National Recreation Area is open year-round with peak time during the summer months. Plan your camping trip between May and September, and you'll enjoy extra-long days with the sun setting as late as 10 p.m.
Cost: Prices vary per campground, so call ahead once you map out your visit. For more information, visit the park's website.
This is the perfect hammock to enjoy the majestic view in:

Best Camping in USA Mountain States Part 6

Why It's Cool: The Waterpocket Fold is a nearly 100-mile-long warp in the Earth's crust that formed between 50 and 70 million years ago, and Capitol Reef is situated in the most scenic portion of the fold.
Where to Camp: The Fruita campground holds 71 sites and is the only developed campground at Capitol Reef. If you're into roughing it, Cathedral Valley and Cedar Mesa are in more remote parts of the park and have pit toilets but no water. For backcountry lovers, a permit is required for camping.
When It's Open: Open year-round, Fruita often fills by early to mid-afternoon during the spring and fall seasons. Sites are first come, first served, and reservations and site saving are not allowed.
Cost: Fruita has a nightly fee of $20. Cathedral and Cedar Mesa—and a backcountry permit—are free. For more information, visit the park's website.
It is always a good idea to have a tactical military flashlight on any camping trip:
