Camping is a great way to see the world at very little expense. Almost every state (in the US) and every country in the world have campgrounds that are open to the public. There are a few that are free to use, but most charge at least a small fee for use of the grounds. Here are a few stops to get you started on your outdoor adventures.

Alaska – Denali National Park offers several camping areas for those adventurers willing to brave the elements and the animals.

Alabama - Blue Springs State Park (located near Ozark, Alabama) is a 103 acre park that's center of attention is the swimming pool and spring pool which are both fed by an underground spring.

Arkansas - Caddo River in Glenwood, Arkansas is a great place for roughing it in complete luxury. It offers beautiful cabins and bunkhouses at reasonable prices (or you can just stay in your tent if you prefer).

Colorado - The camping sites at Black Canyon of the Gunnison fill up quickly during the summer months. It offers some of the most sheer walls, narrow openings and startling depths in North America.

Delaware – Trap Pond State Park offers a unique experience of Delaware's Cypress Swamp. It offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities and camping experiences.

Georgia - Red Top Mountain State Park and Lodge is off the 12,000-acre Lake Allatoona in Georgia. It offers a lot of great activities for the whole family.

Iowa - Muscatine County, Iowa has a hidden Gem in the Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area. Camping is free on Wednesdays (from May - October) and it offers some of the best environmental education programs around.

Indiana - Wolfe's Leisure Time Campground is a great place for the family to stay. It offers a well stocked recreation room, pool area, and even has WiFi available so mom or dad can catch up on work.

Kansas - Kanopolis State Park has it all - from a full-service marina and beaches to over primitive camp sites. It is rich with native plants and wildlife and has plenty of Native American history as well.

Missouri - Kings Canyon offers several great camping sites (all located in Black bear territory, so be prepared). Cedar Grove has some breathtaking trails for you to hike while you stay.

The great thing about camping is that you could spend the rest of your life staying at a new site and still not have time to see them all. There are camping sites with historical significance, great amenities, or amazing nature experiences. What ever your tastes, today’s campgrounds can find a way to meet them.
