Despite fierce competition, Hipcamp has determined the best all-around campground in the U.S., and its located in Utah.
The annual Hipcamp Awards celebrate top-performing Hipcamp Hosts and properties, and highlight stellar experiences. After selecting the top three standout campgrounds, Hipcamp determined that Zion Wright Family Ranch Eco-Camp, which overlooks Zion National Park, comes out on top. From this ranch-turned campground, campers enjoy solitude (the campground is set on 1200 protected acres) and stunning views of Zions steep red cliffs. There are two canvas glamping tents available to rent, plus spots for tents and RVsall dispersed across the property. The ranch is pet-friendly, and when not visiting the national park, you can take a horseback ride with the owner.
Hipcamps number two campsite is Cedar Bloom in Oregon. Located on 100 acres off the Redwood Highway, Cedar Bloom features RV sites, dispersed camping, A-frame cabins, a vintage trailer, a gnome dome in the forest and a dome overlooking a river. At number three is Finnon Lake Recreation Area in California. This campground is situated on a private lake, perfect for enjoying water activities like swimming and fishing.
