Staying at Thornhill Broome Beach Campground was an absolute dream.

The campground was perfectly situated just off the PCH on a scenic piece of beach.

The campground was well maintained. Both the guard and camp host were really friendly and the facilities were clean.

The sites are close together and there’s no privacy because you’re on the beach, but I can’t sing enough praises for how beautiful of a spot this is. Listening to the waves crash against the shore and pull the stones back into the ocean was such a treat.

Hidden Valley is the kind of campsite that begs you to remember where you are. The campground flanks some large rock formations that host rock climbers during the day.

The sites are pretty well spaced out and arranged. I was lucky enough to grab a spot up against the rocks and it was spectacular. Be sure to climb up on the rocks at night for some awesome stargazing. (Don’t forget your headlamp.)

Hidden Valley is first-come first-serve. Once you claim your site, you now have to travel back to an entrance station to pay. So keep that in mind.

Overall, the campground was good, but what really made it spectacular was the view from the coastal campsites. The fire rings are situated right on the edge of the cliff so you can enjoy an evening watching the sunset over the water.

The rest of the campsite was nice. It was equipped with water stations, shower stalls, and flush toilets.

Checking in was really easy, and the campground even has a keypad gate so it’s just campers beyond that point.

I pulled into the campground and had an easy time finding an open space.

The sites are all along the Colorado River and have great views of the rock wall.

The bathrooms were clean and the campsite seemed well taken care of.

It’s a five minute drive to the Arches entrance, so a great spot near the park and in town in Moab. There’s also a great paved bike path through the canyon along the water.

The area around Dillon Lake is really beautiful. Lowry was a great spot to stop and enjoy the lake.

The host was super nice. The bathrooms were clean.

I stayed in a walk-in site. Maybe only 100 yards from the campsite, but three nice spots to venture a little farther away.

All the spots had a fire ring, table, and bear locker.

The hosts here were extremely generous and very helpful when I arrived. They even had a camping agreement to sign (very professional).

The spots have plenty of space and the surrounding fields are really beautiful as the sun starts to go down.

It’s a great spot for an overnight stop.

My stay here was great!

Check in was a breeze and the host offered all the help I could need.

The spots are all tucked into different spots on the tree farm. I had a great view of the sunrise from my spot on the hill.

I would definitely recommend it here.

My stay at Schoodic was absolutely wonderful.

Schoodic’s campsites are much more spread out than most campgrounds and many offer full converge of trees on three sides. I couldn’t see any neighbors from my table which was really nice. The peninsula is always very quiet during the night and offered peaceful views of the night sky.

The bathrooms were very clean and the rest of the campground was nicely maintained.

All the staff at Acadia were very pleasant too.

If you don’t mind driving a while to the rest of Acadia this is a great spot to guarantee a peaceful camping retreat.

The views on the edges of camp here are great! There’s tons of trees scattered throughout to provide lots of shade and forest vibes.

The General Grant Tree and Grant Grove Village are super close. The market has tons of stuff and the restaurant there has some good stuff too.

The biggest downside is the sites are extremely close together. So be prepared to get to know your neighbor.

The beach area is wide open and has some great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. There were only a few other campers the night I was there.

The major downside is the recreation area isn’t clean at all. There was garbage all over the place. It’s also pretty close to town and exposed to the roadway so it was a little bit noisy overnight.

Jacob Lake is a really nice spot.

The sites are all nicely spread out giving you plenty of space. The camp hosts have firewood for sale and take great care of the facilities.

The woods behind the campground has a great short path that is a great morning or evening walk. The amphitheater at the campground is also really nice if that’s what you are looking for.

The forests north of the Grand Canyon are beautiful and the canyon itself isn’t too far of a drive at the North Rim.

Would highly recommend.

Jumbo Rocks is home to some of the most amazing rock formations in Joshua Tree. All the sites are nestled in and around the rocks, which creates a really unique camping experience.

It’s a pretty large campground, but most of the sites are separated by rock formations or brush for added privacy.

Jumbo Rocks was one of my first campgrounds, and it didn’t disappoint. I would definitely recommend to anybody visiting Joshua Tree.

Pine Flat is a great spot in Sedona. The canyon area is beautiful and there is a wonderful hike right near the campground.

The best thing about the camp is the hosts. They are so great at keeping the campground looking perfect. The grounds are always clean, the bathrooms are spotless, and they have plentiful wood and ice for sale.

Only downside is the sites are a bit close together and close to the roadway as well.

It’s a great spot for some mellow camping. Only 13 campsites that have plenty of room. The creek runs between them all and offers some rest spots to walk in the water.

Plenty of drinking water access. Bathrooms aren’t managed well and no trash sites at camp, so pack it out with you.

Super easy access to the trailhead to Lower Calf Creek Falls.
