Top Summer Camping Spots

When it comes to living up the last days of summer, there is no better way than grabbing a tent, cooler and kayak, a few friends and a slab of America’s beautiful landscape to simultaneously adventure and unwind. Not only does the escape from a technology infested society prove excellent for your health, but the memories you’ll make will last a lifetime. I’ve put together a list of coveted tent-pitching plots where taking pictures, breathing and reflecting come as naturally as the rising sun. If you’re looking to tie up your summer with a stunning bow, plan on taking a trip to any of the following hot spots!
