"The sites are well-spaced and pretty."

This campground is full of life. I even scared up a rabbit during a walk. It's serene, beautiful, and somewhere I want to spend more time. There were only a few campers in November. Lots to explore nearby. The amenities are clean. It's quite a... Read more

"What a view from the tent sites in November."

I arrived after dark and had no idea what view I would awake to in the morning. It was a fantastic, beautiful lake with large flocks of geese and ducks. (The cabins in front of my site are dotted around the lake and have perfect views too.) Even... Read more

"October is beautiful at the most beautiful space in the park."

The campsite at Shepard State Park (in the city of Gautier) is phenomenal. Site fifteen really is the best in the whole campsite if you want privacy. A nesting pair of Mississippi sandhill cranes was just beyond my site and greeted me every... Read more

"If a campground cost $6, be suspicious."

I got to the campground and was shocked; it's right on the highway! A truck could kick up a rock and boom—there’s your windshield. No wonder it was only $6. But it's not just that. The camp host looks like he's lived there for ten years with tarps... Read more

"Very beautiful with the view of a lovely sunset."

Bottomless Lakes State Park is about 10 miles outside of Roswell. The tent spots cost $10, and the sites are really lovely. The lakes themselves are very pretty, but the campsites back up to the red cliffs. These really are spectacular. I arrived... Read more

"Breathtakingly beautiful, especially at sunrise."

The Windy Hill Recreation Site is in the Tonto National Forest. It’s next to Theodore Roosevelt Lake, a beautiful and gigantic lake that is the most vibrant blue color. In front of my site is the Salt River, which is equally enchanting. The... Read more

"The sites are well-spaced and pretty."

Remember to buy an annual National Parks Pass so that you don't have to pay that crazy fee when entering the Grand Canyon National Park. The campsites feel private and are in a natural pine grove of trees. Camping in October, I was happy for a... Read more

"Who knew the desert was so beautiful in October?"

It's a drive to get here, but I promise it's worth it. Once you turn off the road towards the Hole in the Wall Campground, you'll be delighted with beautiful scenery. The campground was half-full and first-come, but I found a lovely and private... Read more

"Think concrete in October way off the beaten path."

First of all, if I'm going to drive an hour away from civilization, I expect the site to be awesome. But this is a huge concrete pad (think gigantic parking lot) made for gigantic rigs. I was there to see the pelicans, which were not there. I... Read more

"Very beautiful, clean, and small."

If you're living the vanlife, car camp, or have a small teardrop, this is the place for you. Rarely have I seen such a beautiful campsite. It's old-school back-to-nature beautiful with a natural spring in the campsite. In October is was cold at... Read more
