PORTLAND, Ore., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dyrt, the app to get the best campsites, built by the largest RVing and camping community in the U.S., has announced the 2026 Best Places to Camp: National Park Neighbors Presented by Girl Camper, a nationwide community that connects women through camping, outdoor experiences and events.
Camping near national parks offers a fantastic way to experience the great outdoors, but many national parks are highly sought-after and have limited availability — some being fully reserved many months or a year ahead of time. Staying at nearby campgrounds can provide an excellent, easier-to-book alternative for outdoor enthusiasts to visit an iconic park by day, and still have a fantastic setting to return to.
