It’s with great joy that we bring you our finds of the best camping spots in America.
If you have any spots you’d like to add(and I hope you do because we want to keep this list running) then add them in the comments.
Here are the best places to take your truck or RV camping:
Alabama
Cheaha State Park – Delta, AL
A beautifully scenic area in Alabama. It has mountains with the highest point in the state. First opened in 1933. Its amenities include areas you can swim, fish, or picnic. Bunker tower is an iconic landmark on top of Cheaha Mountain. Crafted from Stone and with an observation area.
There is the Bald Rock Trail that has another vantage point and is wheelchair accessible for those with disabilities. With a whopping 73 campsites classified as “modern” and less off the trail campsites, it’s a perfect place to take your truck and/or family for a getaway.
If you’re into hiking, there is a trail that cuts through Talladega National Forest and connects to the Appalachian Trail.
Ruffner Mountain – Jefferson County, AL
A nature preserve on 100 acres in east Jefferson County. Did you know that raptors(the killer dinosaur) used to be native to Alabama? Well, you can find them in the visitor center on the property. They also were the size of chickens, which bummed me out when I first heard it. False expectations from Jurassic Park.
Ruffner Mountain used to be a bustling mining resource until they shut down in the 1950s. If you love to hike, you’ve found your mecca in Alabama. More than 14 miles of hiking trails are ready for you to plod on. Nature has taken back what man tried to steal, leaving a beautiful scenic escape. You can’t camp out here, but for hikers and runners sake we recommend a trip.
Lake Guntersville State Park, Alabama
Water, trees, and a nice breeze. The 6000 acre Guntersville State Park is brimming with prime camping property. Including a main campground that sits close to the water. The perfect spot for your truck, tent, and maybe some tacos.

Areas for primitive camping as well as RV camping are available here. Along with hiking, fishing, bicycle trails, and water activities.
Alaska
Williwaw Campground, Portage Valley – Alaska
Besides being fun to say, Williwaw is absolutely beautiful. Nestled beside Williwaw creek. Its known for having some of the best fishing, hiking, and wildlife all near your campground. Located in the eastern part of Chugach National Forest.
There are moose, brown and black bears, goats, bald eagles, and wolves. If you really want to get out into nature or explore one of their hiking trails, this is the perfect place to do it.
Some animals on that list can be dangerous so they really want you to keep your food out of site or in safely locked containers.
Amenities include hand pumps for drinking water, toilets, picnic tables, visitor center and a parking area. Unfortunately, there are no electric hookups for campsites.
Granite Creek, AK
The hardest part about writing about these beautiful spots is that teleportation doesn’t exist yet. The absolute beauty of Granite Creek will blow your socks off. Like our previous example it’s also located in the Chugiak National Forest.
This sits in the Kenai mountains, surrounded by forest. Near the campground you’ll find a river that is supplied by glaciers. Mountains that kiss the sky, glaciers still towering over the landscape, and a place that only knows seclusion are some of the things that await your journey. Like our previous example, animals still roam here freely and you have to be aware of that.
There are 19 campgrounds and most are near the creek. Bears are around most commonly of all the animals in the area. There is a bike path and a 23 mile trail. Drinking water and toilets are available within the facilities.
Lake Lucile Park – Wasilla, AK

There are public toilets, water, and athletic fields. It’s inside a heavily wooded forest with birch and cottonwood trees signing off on the location.

The Finger Lakes are surrounded by mountains and of course, many peculiar lakes. Additionally, the trees fence off the campground providing a serene getaway.
Arizona
Bear Canyon Lake – Payson, AZ
A free range camping spot. There is no fee to camp here and it’s a first come, first serve arrangement. Bear Canyon Lake has 60 acres of prime land. Fishing included. It’s considered an “undeveloped” campground, and rather primitive. You really do get away when you visit here. Surrounded by aspen trees, pine, and spruce that come right up to the lake. Park wherever you want, it’ll usually be about a quarter mile walk to the lake.
There is no water available and vault toilets seasonally. With all the things it doesn’t have, you’re left with peace and quiet. Less people have this as an option but the real campers give rave reviews about Bear Lake.
Kartchner Caverns State Park – Benson, AZ
Something a little different than camping out in the woods. At the Kartchner Caverns, you can go on a little bit of adventure. Explore the deep caves that were discovered by chance in 1974 when a narrow crack was found at the bottom of a sinkhole. 2.5 miles of pristine cave loomed underneath. The cave has been preserved perfectly with air lock doors and misting machines.
All campsites are modern. They come with a fee but have a shower/restroom, water, electrical and dump station services. There is also a power post. This is definitely one of the more touristy spots in AZ to camp, but still worth a look if you’ve never come across something like it before.
Chevelon Canyon – Heber, AZ
A more secluded option, this has no developed camping facilities. It’s a pack in/pack out spot. You’ve gotta bring your own water but there are designated camping spots. To make it down to the lake you hike a trail that’s less than a mile, you can’t get there by vehicle. It has good fishing and is surrounded by pine trees. If the picture enough didn’t do it for you, there are tons of lovely views and great hiking spots. Seeking serenity? This is one of the many beautiful options in AZ.
Blue Ridge Campground – Happy Jack, AZ
A secluded, wooded getaway that features a winding body of water. It might look like a river, but it is actually a lake. There are trails, biking, wildlife, and fishing. There is drinking water, tent camping, toilets, and camping trailers are allowed. A secluded spot that has become a bit of a favorite of local photographers. The blue skies and refreshing environment offer some relief from the day to day.

Grand Canyon – AZ
It would feel a little wrong to mention Arizona and not the Grand Canyon. They do indeed have campgrounds at the North(less secluded) and South(super busy) rims. This is a huge tourist attraction because of the acclaim of the destination, so if you’re looking for a secluded place to park your truck or rv – this isn’t for you.
