Where have you camped?

I am trying to visit every Minnesota state park, camped in the Superior National Forest, Grand Marais Minnesota and a journey into Wisconsin.

From Bergen county New Jersey.
We haven't camped at a lot if different places, but do return to the first two as often as we can:

Lake Dunmore Campersville in Vermont ( kids love it)
Swartswood State Park in north jersey. ( I love it)
Great divide north jersey
Pleasant acres north jersey
Kymers in north jersey
High Point state park north jersey
Allaire State Park middle jersey
Newburg KOA New York
Dover Downs raceway Deleware
Butterfly in Jackson New Jersey
Timberland lake jackson New Jersey
Hershey park Pennsylvania
Driftstone Deleware river in Pennsylvania
Yogi bear Elmer south jersey

I'm from Michigan, have lived a long time in Oklahoma, as well asseveral other places, and I've camped in Michigan (many different state parks and recreation areas), Florida (state parks and race tracks), Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and Ontario.

I don't think I could put together a list of specific places, since I've been camping for more than 60 years, a lot of it at the beginning was roadside, and I didn't always know just where I was when I stopped. Did not keep diaries or logs.

My map is about relationships and travel, not camping or RVing.

There are surly a dozen or so other local parks, but most wouldn't recognize them.

Wow, nice list! I love how much you Americans get around to other states. For me to go halfway up north our province it's an 18 hour drive. It's why I'm starting to think of heading south into the US to explore some of your camping spots.

39 of the lower 48 states, We are not full timers. We have been to places in those States that would take maybe two pages to list. Alaska is on our list.

Mostly western national parks. Glacier-Waterton, Tetons, Rockies, Banff, Jasper and other Canadian Rockies parks, Smoky mountains.
We've done a number of month-long, dry-camping trips as we like to stay in the parks themselves. Camper has a shower, and I use solar panel to charge battery so we have the 'creature comforts'.

@cruiserjs Wow! I'm hoping that over the next 40+ years (I'm in my early 30s) I too can make it to every state and province. We're in the middle of planning trips to Alaska and Wyoming over the next couple years. There's SO MUCH to see in the US that I feel like I'll never get it all done. It just sucks when our dollar makes a massive dive. When the dollar is bad I switch to touring around Canada instead of the US :)

@Old-Biscuit That's interesting about what you say about campgrounds. Maybe there's a difference in the US versus Canada but here the campgrounds are provincial parks and they're massive and have lakes and rives and there are miles and miles of hiking trails. It's not just a place to dump a tent.

The New England states are gorgeous. I've made the drive to Vermont in the autumn. They remind me a lot of Ontario actually.

Your new life sounds like a dream. What state are you in? I'm going to guess Arizona based off of your description. There are tons of Canadians who make their way to Arizona for the winter months. It sounds like an outdoorsman's paradise in Arizona.

Oh my!! Started our RV life in 1991 and had to quit in 2012! managed to hit all 49 states (can't take a fiver to HI) and all Canadian provinces and Territories - except Nunavut -no roads there!!
Places we camped - way to many to remember or list!!
Welcome to the life style!
