The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping availability, photos and reviews, has announced the 2024 Best Places To Camp Regional Awards based on reviews and ratings from its vast community of campers.
These destinations include some of the hottest and trendiest campgrounds of the past year, popular picks from The Dyrt campers, and well-established, sought-after properties that make their way onto this list every year.
«Camping is more of a year-round activity now than it’s ever been, but I still love May because it’s the traditional beginning of the camping season, and we get to unveil our annual lists of the Best Places to Camp in each region of the country,» says Sarah Smith, founder of The Dyrt. «On this year’s lists we see private campgrounds that are working harder than ever to provide the amenities that campers desire these days, while also remaining true to the essence of providing an experience in nature.
Free camping locations on some of the most naturally beautiful land in the country dominate this year’s lists as well. Congratulations to all the winners. Campers, update your bucket lists!»
Here are the Top 10 in the Pacific Region:
- Bay Point Landing — Oregon
- Hidden Valley Campground — Joshua Tree National Park — California
- Elkamp Eastcreek — Washington
- Lyre River Campground — Washington
- Cape Lookout State Park — Oregon
- Salt Creek Recreation Area — Washington
- Hoodview Campground — Oregon
- Burlington Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park — California
- Shooting Star Sanctuary and Retreat — Yosemite National Forest — California
- Cougar Rock Campground — Mount Rainier National Park — Washington
The West Coast is home to three of the country’s most iconic camping states. The Dyrt’s 2024 Camping Report presented by The All-New Toyota Tacoma shined a spotlight on Oregon, California and Washington and discovered some interesting statistics.
West Coast campers are more likely to identify truck camping and camper van as their primary camping type, and they’re less likely to RV. West Coasters were also 29% less likely to be first-time campers in 2023 as compared to the national average.
