Backpacker magazine put out a list of best wild camping spots in the USA. I finally found the list. Anybody been to any of these spots:

| No, haven't been to any of those but some of them look very nice! I particularly like the idea of the island in Maine that is accessible only by boat! Sounds like the kind of camping I like best but usually do on lakes! |

| I've been to just one of these campgrounds. I'll have to add the rest to my list of ones to visit. You may also be interested in a website for campground reviews I just started with two friends. It is http://www.CampgroundReport.com Unbiased campground and RV park reviews from fellow campers. |

| Wow. Looks like I've got a lot of work to do. I can never seem to tear myself away from the shores and surrounding forests of Lake Superior. I've been meaning to get to the Southwest for sometime now. Maybe this year will be the year. |

| steve camper, checked out your site! It looks great! I added a couple of reviews and some day when I look up all of the url's for the places I've been I'll add some more! Right off the top it looks like a lot of people gave a lot of praise for places with a lot of amenities and resort like environments. One place I've been to, which I didn't comment on at the site, has tiny sites and I would never go during the high season! Two people noted how great the place is and that they have BIG sites! I just get a kick out of how we all have different views on the same place! Don't get me wrong, nothing is wrong with that if that's what you like! Just not my cup of tea! My ideal camp site has nobody around for at least a mile, is only accessible by boat, and has only a firepit, table and outhouse for amenities! It's the highlight of my summer every year! |

| I've been to Sea Camp on Cumberland Island a couple of times, but it was several years ago. The sites we had were large. It's a wonderful spot to camp. |

| I made a couple of posts for the Nantahala & Pisgah Nat'l Forest C/G's here in western North Carolina. And they ... ah, ... had a little to do with trout fishing! Dale |

| We went to Zion National Park a couple of years ago. Gorgeous, gorgeous park. Unfortunately, we only had a few hours as we had a plane to catch in Vegas, but it's definitely worth seeing! (We plan on going back some day when we have more time!) Didn't see the campground, but the rest of the park was so beautiful, I'm sure the campground was great, too. |

| Bankhead National Forrest in Alabama has several camgrounds that are nice. I like the Houston Recreation Area. No camper hookups but decent access for self suffecient campers. I tent camp. other than holidays you almost have the place to youself. Sipsey Wilserness area not far has some beautiful hiking trails. There are several other campground for those who want hookups. |

The ten best appear to be for the motorhome folks. If you like more secluded spots check out RaysGuides.com.. He has 3 books out highlighting the northwest, Washington, oregon & Idaho and all the sites are free, most with toilets, tables and either fire grates or fire rings. Ive been to many of the sites and they are outstanding. Ice Hole out of Cascade Idaho is just beautiful.
Happy camping...Sam |

| I've camped at The Great Sand Dunes and visited Guadalupe Mountains NP. I'm not sure I'd rate either campground that high although the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I'd add another personal favorite of Big Bend National Park in Texas. We camped last Easter in the campground inside the ring of eroded volcanos. |
