We’ve shared lots of coastal, beach, and lake getaways as well as plenty of tourist towns and cities, but today we’re taking things back to basics and sharing some of our favorite campgrounds. Each of the campgrounds on this list has something truly unique and memorable to offer visitors. From lakeside lighthouses to breezy grasslands to desert canyons, we’ve got something for everyone’s flavor of outdoor adventure.  If you’ve not gone camping yet, what are you waiting for? You’ll have the opportunity to get away from the rat race of your 9 to 5 and overscheduled kids activities, as well as an excuse to not answer your phone or emails for a few days.  What could be better than that?

Camping is a great way to reconnect with nature, yourself, and your community be it friends or family.  Outdoor activities like camping are a great way to reduce stress, improve physical fitness, rejuvenate your mental health, boost your confidence, and help you sleep better. Whether you choose to rough it with backpack camping or perhaps a more traditional route like a tent, or “glamping” in organized campers and RVs, there’s options for all of those flavors on today’s blog.  So, what are you waiting for? Hop in your new car from Classic Toyota of Waukegan, and let’s hit the road to camping bliss.
