PORTLAND, Ore., May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping availability,
photos and reviews, has announced the 2024 Best Places To Camp
Regional Awards based on reviews and ratings from its vast
community of campers. These destinations include some of the
hottest and trendiest campgrounds of the past year, popular picks
from The Dyrt campers, and well-established, sought-after
properties that make their way onto this list every year.
"Camping is more of a year-round activity now than it's ever
been, but I still love May because it's the traditional beginning
of the camping season, and we get to unveil our annual lists of the
Best Places to Camp in each region of the country," says
Sarah Smith, founder of The Dyrt.
"On this year's lists we see private campgrounds that are working
harder than ever to provide the amenities that campers desire these
days, while also remaining true to the essence of providing an
experience in nature. Free camping locations on some of the most
naturally beautiful land in the country dominate this year's lists
as well. Congratulations to all the winners. Campers, update your
bucket lists!"
Here are the Top 10 in the Pacific Region:
- Bay Point Landing — Oregon
- Hidden Valley Campground — Joshua Tree National Park —
California
- Elkamp Eastcreek — Washington
- Lyre River Campground — Washington
- Cape Lookout State Park —
Oregon
- Salt Creek Recreation Area — Washington
- Hoodview Campground — Oregon
- Burlington Campground — Humboldt
Redwoods State Park — California
- Shooting Star Sanctuary and Retreat — Yosemite National Forest
— California
- Cougar Rock Campground — Mount
Rainier National Park — Washington
The West Coast is home to three of the country's most iconic
camping states. The Dyrt's 2024 Camping Report presented
by The All-New Toyota Tacoma shined a spotlight on Oregon, California and Washington and discovered some interesting
statistics. West Coast campers are more likely to identify truck
camping and camper van as their primary camping type, and they're
less likely to RV. West Coasters were also 29% less likely to be
first-time campers in 2023 as compared to the national average.
Bay Point Landing, an ideal mix of luxury and location, is No. 1
after being 10th in 2022 and No. 3 last year. Hidden Valley in
world-famous Joshua Tree National Park and Elkamp Eastcreek, a base
camp for Mount Rainier, round out the Top 3.
"Not only is it a great stay but it comes with an experience!"
says The Dyrt camper Lauren P. about Shooting Star Sanctuary and
Retreat, No. 9 on the list. "We watched sheep roam, held goats, fed
pigs, and played with some kittens. We will definitely be
returning."
The 2024 Camping Report also found that nearly 85 million
Americans went camping last year. With that many people and that
much demand, "the perfect camping trip" can mean so many different
things. The 2024 Best Places to Camp Regional Awards reflect
that.
"There's no concrete, one-size-fits-all definition as to what
makes for a great camping experience," says The Dyrt CEO
Kevin Long. "There's something for
everyone in every region in the Best Places to Camp Regional
Awards. These lists can also be an invitation to explore a new
region. Now's the time for all the people who have discovered
camping in the past few years to really spread their wings and take
their love of camping to the next level. Get on the road this
summer and check these places out!"
