PORTLAND, Ore., June 25, 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 Near Water Presented by Women Who Explore, a community dedicated to empowering women through outdoor adventure, connection and exploration.
Camping can be great regardless of location and terrain, but for some people there's nothing better than setting up a tent or parking a rig right next to a crystal-clear lake or winding river. Leisure activities that a body of water makes possible are nearly endless — fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, skipping rocks and enjoying the view are just a few. Water is the perfect camping companion as it can be the setting for the day's main activities or just provide the backdrop for rest and relaxation.
