Over the past few years, my wife and I have taken our travel trailer into each of the lower 48 States. We’ve traveled tens of thousands of miles. We’ve camped just about every place we could park.
We seen special places. We’ve enjoyed beautiful campsites in the Pacific Northwest and the Florida Keys and the arid Southwest.
We’ve seen a few eyesores. (Although we appreciate the option of ‘overnight parking’ at Walmart parking lots and truck stops, these places aren’t scenic – unless you happen to love asphalt.)
We’ve seen a lot of mediocrity. Many otherwise decent campgrounds are too crowded, or need more trees.
After all of these years, I thought we’d seen it all.
Then we took our camper out for a spring shakedown cruise and photo shoot. And guess what? We found one of the prettiest sites we’ve ever enjoyed. Since we were shooting photos for the park, we were allowed to set up our camp in a special location.

The funny thing is that we didn’t have to haul our camper 3000 miles to find this spot. It is located in a state park only a few miles from our home!
The lesson? You don’t need to travel long distances to find beauty in these United States. Wherever you may live, you can find scenic places to camp nearby. Take a look at the beauty in your own community. It may surprise you!
