The great outdoors — some go to find inner peace and tranquility, while others go to find zero bars on their cell phone. Whatever your reason for going camping, make sure you are camping in the right place.

This is a great location to camp for young and old. With more than 300 campgrounds to choose from, the only thing to worry about is a wild horse stealing your lunch.

It may be out of the way, but Denali National Park is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and if you were looking to be alone, this is the place to do it. With more than 6 million acres of open land, it might be challenging finding another camper. There is more hiking here than one could ever hope to accomplish, a frosty climate and peace of mind; this location is faultless for those looking for a cooler place to camp.
Yosemite National Park, California
One of the truly beautiful things about Yosemite park is that 95 percent of the location is designated wilderness.

With glaciers to hike, sights to see and geysers to watch, there is no shortage of things to do in this National Park.
Big Bend National Park, Texas
