The quintessential camping experience might take place in the mountains, but beaches and camping are a match made in heaven, particularly in a country with as many incredible stretches of sand as the United States. Anyone looking for a getaway with a tropical feel will appreciate the white sand and palm trees of Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys, but you can also camp with wild horses on the Assateague Island National Seashore, pitch a tent on the shore of lake Michigan or lose yourself in the rugged beauty of the Pacific coast at the Sonoma Coast State Park.
