Sixty one campgrounds received 5 star reviews in December. Check out some of the highlights below:
Campfire Lodgings – Asheville, NC
This was the perfect spot for us. It is a small campground with limited amenities but it is so close to many things to do! – Aviatrjim
Twin Knobs Recreation Area – Clearfield, KY
We loved this campground! With gorgeous wooded sites, great trails, and a giant lake with multiple boat launch areas and even a sandy beach it was nearly perfect. – Watsons Wander
Watchman Campground – Zion National Park
About the perfect National Park campground. Stayed here mid November with cold nights and a little snow. Lots of great restaurants in town. – Bob And Barb T
Caprock Canyons State Park – Quitaque, TX
Caprock is a very special place that I want to come back and explore. There are several great trails, that I only enjoyed on the map :), and a scenic drive around the park which I did get to enjoy! – CarlaMowell
Big Creek Water Park – Soso, MS
This is a really great place to camp. They have so much to offer. A large Lake for fishing, a beach for swimming, two playgrounds, hiking trails, cabins to rent, a clubhouse to rent for parties and quite a few Geocashes hidden in the park. – Aviatrjim
Lower Crooked River – Prineville, OR
Due to time of year, we did not see another soul for our stay, other than fellow fly fishermen. The Crooked River is a must see for its ancient walls. It’s a geologists dream. – Justbreezinalong
Valley of Fire West – Overton, NV
We woke to beautiful desert views and could have stayed the day if we weren’t eager to get to Zion. Would be easy to explore Valley of Fire from here or just catch up on restadmin. – Meg and Ben
Hawn State Park – Ste. Genevieve, MO
We are parked next to a lovely bubbling spring and are enjoying the wind in the pines. There are also a few walk in sites that look great for tenters. The hiking is wonderful. Rocky sandstone bluffs over Pickle Creek. – Laura Montgomery
French Creek State Park – Elverson, PA
There is a lake for canoeing of fishing and another one for swimming. All in all I love this place. – Jeff R.
Minersville Lake Park – Minersville, UT
We were the only ones at the park. It was incredibly clean and appeared to be very well maintained. We were really happy with our decision. So although the lake itself is rather small and not the most scenic of places we have stayed, the park provided us with exactly what we had hoped to find. A quiet and clean place to rest for the night. – backroadbennetts
Doheny State Beach – Dana Point , CA
Most of the beach camping in Southern California is pricey, so we expected the price tag on this one — and expected the lack of amenities. But we were thrilled to be so close to the water with a great spot for our kids to run around in the sand. – Jon
Twin Lakes View – Twin Lakes, CO
One of the most scenic boondocking spots I’ve camped in. The views looking out over the lakes and Independence Pass are super sexy. I love this area and its one of my favorite spots in Colorado. Don’t forget your fishing pole, kayak, hiking shoes…there is a lot to do here. – Chris
Belle Campground – Joshua Tree National Park
We were quite surprised to be the only campers each night in our secluded campground. We loved the silence, the darkness and only our own distorted firelight shadows on the clusters of boulders surrounding us. – Michael & Imkelina
Fort Desoto County Park – St. Petersburg, FL
The waterfront spots are spectacular and definitely worth trying to get one.We went out to North Beach and played in the waves and mostly just relaxed. Would definitely come here again! – Currently Wandering
Paul Wolff Campground – Elgin, IL
Whenever I am back to Chicago visiting friends and family, this is my first-choice destination. – WinnieViews
Little Manatee River State Park – Wimauma, FL
This is a small, 30 site campground, set way back in the park. Vegetation provides plenty of privacy at most sites. All in all a nice, quiet Florida state park. – Anne H
Meriwether Lewis Campground – Hohenwald, TN
My 4 year old son and I went to this site to boondock over night! We loved it!! It was very clean, a lot of hiking trails and some good history in the area. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs an overnight free stay. – Joe Hendricks
