Campspot Unveils 2024 ‘Best Campgrounds in America’
Campspot announced the winners of its highly anticipated third annual Campspot Awards, celebrating the most outstanding campgrounds in the U.S. and Canada.
Organized by 15 categories, the award-winning destinations offer a range of experiences for outdoor enthusiasts, from picturesque tent sites to luxurious RV resorts and everything in between, Campspot said.
The winners were selected based on a thorough analysis of more than 50,000 data points, including demand, occupancy, reviews and availability of park features. In 2024, multiple new categories were introduced to better match camper needs and booking behaviors.
“The 2024 Campspot Awards highlight the incredible efforts of campground owners, operators, and staff to provide exceptional experiences for their guests,” said Erin Stender, chief marketing officer of Campspot. “As campers now look ahead to their spring and summer trip plans, these award-winning campgrounds provide travelers with exceptional outdoor experiences that stand out against more conventional and potentially pricier travel alternatives. Camping remains an accessible and enriching means of exploration, and this year’s winners represent the incredible variety of camping experiences available across North America.”
