Campspot recently announced the winners of the 2026 Campspot Awards, an annual program recognizing top-performing campgrounds across its marketplace in the United States and Canada. Now in its fifth year, the Campspot Awards highlight parks that consistently deliver exceptional guest experiences, spanning family resorts, riverfront retreats, glamping destinations and campgrounds known for one-of-a-kind programming and amenities, the company said in a release. Winners were determined through an extensive review of more than 3.3 million data points, including guest ratings, reservation data, park features, the quality of Marketplace listing pages and category-specific rankings.
The Campspot Awards are designed to help campers discover exceptional outdoor stays and to spotlight the park teams behind them. As one of the largest campground marketplaces, Campspot said it will amplify this year’s winners across its camper community throughout the season.
The 2026 winners reflect the evolving ways people camp today, whether at a big, amenity-rich family resort, a glamping-forward destination or a campground that turns a weekend stay into something communal and memorable. That’s especially relevant as recent Campspot research shows many travelers are prioritizing reconnection and shared experiences in their 2026 travel plans.
“Campgrounds are more than places to stay. They’re places where memories get made, traditions start, and community shows up,” said Jeff Bettin, general manager of Marketplace at Campspot. “The Campspot Awards are our way of recognizing parks that consistently deliver standout guest experiences, backed by data, and celebrating the people who make those experiences happen.”
