THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video Jared! I hadn't planned on stopping at The Badlands but now I am thanks to your awesome videos! Thoughts of boondocking on the rim of such areas has been a dream of mine for YEARS. As a Pancreatic Cancer Survivor I am planning a 3-4 month, 10,000+ mile camping, kayaking & bicycling adventure staying in my rooftop tent. My doctors tell me I have a 5% chance of living the next 5 years & that was just over a year ago! I ALWAYS think positive but I'm not waiting any longer to see the western United States. If it weren't for adventurers like you, I wouldn't be able to discover places like this off the beaten path. Unlike SELFISH people like @Steve Wainwright (below) who would rather keep gems like this all to himself. Thanks again!

I tried but I can't change. When I first started this channel I pronounced it "Camp en dee um". I can't go back. I'm 65 and have been trying to quit my job for a year now. Can't wait to hit the road

I totally agree about Palo Duro Canyon, gorgeous place!

Stayed at Willow Spring & George’s Gift. Both totally worth being on this list. I have videos featuring them on my channel as well.

Awesome video! skidaway island was the best campground we stayed at this year! Can’t wait to stay at more on this list!

JARED! We are going full time in 20 months, just waiting on her to retire. The content you post is like a camper intell service! Absolutely love the information in this video. We have started a KZread channel to document our journey for our children and someday our grandchildren to follow us. 😍

Love this video - glad to see NM made the list with Sierra Vista CG! We will have to check this one out for sure. It's just hours from us here. Will also see if we can drag the popup out to Palo Duro. Never been there, but looks like a winner. Thanks for the great content Jared. See you on the road!.........................................AO

Keep em coming these are awesome! Launching in August full time!!

Outstanding video! How can you not just want to go and hook up your rig and explore the beauty of this country after watching this video?!?

TOTALLY LOVED CAMPING AT SKIDAWAY! I WOULD LOVE TO TRY MOUNTAIN VIEW NEXT!

We will be visiting several of these places this year. Thank you for the information.

Nice! Several are on my list!

You guys are GREAT … thanks.

I love that Palo Duro made your list! Beautiful place!

The coastal areas of Georgia have lots of bugs. You can't even open your door. They look like cockroaches and bite. Also the mountains are lovely but we were hit by tornados three times in a week. Found out it's a hotbed for tornados.

I camped once in a place called Cloud Croft ,NM. Up the side of a mountain (or really big hill). It was free, and very cool and woodsy. Best primitive camping trip I've ever been on. And on your decent from the mountain, you can see in totality, a salt flat in the distance. I think it was an atomic bomb test site. None the less, totally cool to see from a distance.

Love your videos and your "top five" emails. One minor but important problem most of the posts of the various sites fail to include much if any information regards length of rig that a particular campground can accommodate. I'd encourage subscribers to include this information when they review a camp spot. Our rig is 40 feet not counting the haul truck, so we can't fit just anywhere. Thanks! And, keep up the great work! All this is very useful!

Jared, my wife & I really love you and the service you render at Campendium! As Texans, that Palo Duro is HIGH on our list of state parks to camp at. And we’ll be checking out those others as well.

You may or may not be able to get a site the Jim. Since Jared and a hundered other RVers are telling the world about them on youtube Palo Duro is full alot of the time. I use to stay there back in the 70s and you pretty much had your choice in campsites but now everyone is going there year around. Have only been able to get an RV site there once in the last three tries.

Steve Wainwright You CAN reserve a site, can’t you? Or do you mean it’s always so busy you can’t even reserve for a week night, a month or two out? That’s all I’d be interested in, at least our first time out.

@@TheJayrusbeerus Yes Jim you can reserve a site there, but yes you need to make sure they're not booked up. Sometimes they have things going out there that cause them to fill up.

Ah to get out west and try some of these campgrounds. And by west I mean west of the Missippi.

Thank you 👍

Anastasia St Pk is nice but there is some caution. 1. If you schedule a visit during the holidays there is a adjacent outdoor theater that will eliminate any quite time most evenings. 2. The sites that are around the curve on every loop should never had been put in. They are extremely shallow (7-8 feet) unless you use a 2-4 man tent and hope a car, truck or RV sees you in time not to drive over the tent with you and your family in it

Thanks!

Hi K Kates - You can learn more about each campground by visiting www.campendium.com/camping/campers-choice-awards-2018/ and clicking the individual links. People generally write reviews shortly after their stay, so you can gauge seasonality based on that. We generally camp in the southern states in the winter and the northern states in the summer - though watch out for higher elevations!

Great video! Just sad to see vulgarity in the comments for a channel that gives such great information.

Your too young to know this Jared, but enjoy these places while you can. Now that you've pointed them out to everyone on the globe they'll start filling up in a very few years. I watch them happen over and over again in the 55 years I've been camping. You won't be able to take a pic anywhere without an RV in the pic.

@@2cents422 Yep, I been camping since 62 and back before the internet people went on vacation and when the got back they told their friends and relatives about it, and that's as far as it went. But now their tell the world where all these places are and 3 or4 years later that nice place has a camper every 50 feet. Worked at Yellowstone back in 67 at the Old Faithful Lodge. They were averaging about a million and a half people a season. Now they've quadrupled that.

I find it hard to find on Campendium site the camp grounds. Searched for Mountain View Campground , Ga and it shows Cleveland , Ga and no reviews. ????? Maybe you should give more info on the campgrounds. Address maybe. And if searching states maybe if the highest reviews were first. MANY pages of campsites to look at. Now of corse I have not used much but..............

Hi TheSunfire96! Crooked River has a 5 star average and won a 2018 Campers Choice Award! www.campendium.com/crooked-river-state-park

I really like Campendium and we rely on the reviews. Living full time on the road we are always open to new places, especially free. But it seems a little fishy to me that a privately owned campground is the number 1 choice. Did they pay you for that?

Descent list with one exception... Alabama Hills is HORRIBLE! It’s hot as hell and there is nothing out there. Lone Pine and its area has a major meth problem with lots of shady characters roaming around the area! Nothing but thorns, huge nasty bugs, and a rattlesnake every 10 feet. Trust me I live out here and am trying to get the hell out!

The government has ruined Alabama Hills, totally decimated the available camping.
