Camping season is all year round. The U.S is one of the best countries for camping, with several states prepared to welcome experienced and beginner campers. In this vast and varied country, you can find picturesque spots across the U.S that fit your traveling bucket list. 

Camping is popular at national and state parks, natural preserves, forests, and wild areas. Each state has a unique appeal for campers, giving you a wide variety of options for your trip.

Insuremytrip shares several features to consider when deciding which are the best U.S states for camping for your next trip. Some of them rely on nature and biodiversity, such as the size of the state, forest coverage, rainfall, and species diversity. 

Also, consider the state’s infrastructure, look for the quality of camping sights, fuel prices, and access to services, like internet connection. And, at last, some other factors rely on security, considering the number of accidents and crimes.
