Where will your next adventure take you? We’ve all got places we want to check off our bucket lists, but with so much to see, planning a camper trip can be overwhelming! Like you, the team at OFF is always chasing authentic experiences, so we’re sharing five of our must-see destinations to travel by way of camper.
Glacier National Park, Montana – For Stunning Scenery AND Wildlife
If you’re looking to head north (and we mean NORTH!) – Glacier National Park is the place for you. This Montana treasure is a camper’s paradise with stunning mountain views, pristine lakes, and lush forests. Not to mention over 700 miles of hiking trails! Famous for its 50-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road, this park offers the perfect blend of scenic drives and opportunities to get out in nature. This is a bucket-list item for many outdoor enthusiasts, so we recommend planning your trip in advance! Snow tops the mountains of Glacier National Park year round, but its peak season is from July to September.
Big Bend National Park, Texas – For Those Seeking Solitude & Then Some
Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the adventure! Located along the U.S.-Mexico border, Big Bend National Park offers both desert landscapes and mountain views, making it a must-see spot for campers all over. With a relatively low number of visitors compared to some of the larger national parks, Big Bend is a haven for off-grid camping and spending time in nature. Soak up some solitude or take a peaceful couples camper trip to Big Bend National Park, where you’ll find some of the darkest skies around (perfect for stargazing).
Olympic National Park, Washington – For Those Who Want to Experience All Four Seasons
Now it’s time to head West! This camper destination has it all – mountains, beaches, and lush rainforests – oh my! Or should we say, Olympic National Park. Its unique ecosystems, from the Hoh Rain Forest to coastal beaches, allow visitors to experience diverse climates and landscapes in one place. For those looking for a different camping experience than usual, you’ll find it at Olympic National Park. Take a brisk hike, relax on the beach, or capture the park through your own eyes (and photos). Because it brings a lot to the table weather-wise, it’s best to bring layers for this adventure. Olympic’s weather varies dramatically depending on which ecosystem you’re exploring.
Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina & Virginia – For Those Looking For the Perfect Fall Getaway
Nicknamed “America’s Favorite Drive,” the Blue Ridge Parkway offers 469 miles of stunning landscapes, quaint towns, and easy pull-offs for campers. Stretching through North Carolina and Virginia, this scenic drive is perfect for those who want a relaxed trip with many stops along the way – and is absolutely breathtaking during the autumn months. We love this camper destination because, like most adventures, it’s really about the journey anyway. Choose from a plethora of campgrounds that blend seamlessly into nearby towns, and take advantage of the multiple scenic overlooks with spots to pull over for photos.
Joshua Tree is known for its unique rock formations, iconic desert landscape, and thriving artist community. This California gem is an ideal camper destination for those looking to disconnect and go off the beaten path. Catch a sunset, take a hike, or indulge in some desert rock-climbing! The options are limitless. You can reserve your camping spot in advance, but Joshua Tree’s plentiful first-come, first-serve spots make it a great last-minute adventure too.
