So many of us have fond memories of childhood summers spent camping with our families, but just because we’re grown up now, it doesn’t mean the tradition can’t continue. The U.S. is full of campsites that adults and children alike are sure to enjoy, whether you’re looking to hike, swim, or relax by a fire and toast some marshmallows. When the weather is warm, there are few things we look forward to more than spending some time in the great outdoors with loved ones. Here are a few of our favorite spots.
Best in the Midwest
Allison Campground in Illinois is one of our favorite places for family camping. With three pools, a playground, and a nearby water park, there’s no shortage of opportunities for kids to have fun while their parents are free to relax by the lake.
Best in the West
Those in search of a family-friendly camping experience should head to Toketee Lake in Oregon where they’ll find waterfalls, swimming holes, and absolutely stunning views. Space at the campsite is first-come, first-serve, so be sure to arrive early to get a good spot.
Best in the East
Rip Van Winkle Campgrounds in the Catskill Mountains in New York is the ideal spot for those in search of some family-friendly camping. Campers can rent cabins or bring their own tents while enjoying amenities such as playgrounds and swimming pools.
