Campgrounds by what they offer
Federal campgrounds are far less alike than the booking sites make them look. One has paved pads and a sewer connection at every site, the next is a pit toilet and a creek. These lists cut the 5,569 records on this site by the things that actually decide whether a place will work for you. Each list has a national page, and any state with at least ten matches gets a state page with a map.
