With Memorial Day and summer right around the corner, you’re bound to feel a serious case of wanderlust coming on. Whether you want to travel the world or just squeeze in a weekend getaway to your nearest National Park, camping is always the answer. Whatever you’ve got in mind, we’ve rounded up a selection of the world’s most beautiful camping spots to get you started.
Yosemite National Park, California
Ninety-five percent of Yosemite National Park is set apart for wilderness, which means no cars, no buildings, and no electricity. Sleep under the stars and hike up to Glacier Point for a view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls. Make sure you store your food properly though-black bears are common!
Boya Lake Provincial Park, Canada
Boya Lake Provincial Park, known for the color and clarity of its lake, is a great place to enjoy any type of water recreation. The lake is also one of the few in the north that’s warm enough for swimming. The area was carved out by glaciers, leaving many islands and lakes behind for modern campers to explore on the park’s hiking trails.
Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica
Corcovado National Park is home to five percent of the world’s biodiversity-National Geographic described it as the most “geographically intense” place in the world. Camping is a great option for a visit to Costa Rica: you’ll be at the heart of the rainforest, away from the country’s touristy resorts.
Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
If you’ve always dreamed of safaris (野外观兽旅行), Maasai Mara is the place to go. The best time to visit this large game reserve is between July and October, when you can witness the annual migration (迁徙)of Thomson’s gazelle, zebra, and wildebeest to and from the neighboring Serengeti, in Tanzania. Camp on the banks of the Mara River and hang out with the local Maasai people, well-known for their unique customs and dress.
