Camping with your significant other is an inexpensive way to stay in a romantic destination and enjoy each other’s company. This also might be a good way to test your teamwork and survival skills together. The United States offers many spectacular vacation locations for couples, from mountain ranges to sandy beaches.

Dry Tortugas National Park

Pack your gear and drive down to the Florida Keys for an opportunity to camp on the beach at Dry Tortugas National Park. This beautiful park is surrounded by aqua waters and offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the country. The waters inside the park are full of coral reefs teaming with tropical fish and wildlife. You can also enjoy bird watching during your stay as Dry Tortugas is famous for their spring bird migrations and an enormous array of tropical birds. Since this is such an exotic camping destination, demand is high for camping grounds. Unfortunately, the campground operate under a first-come first-serve basis, so be prepared to share a site with other campers. The camping experience at Dry Tortugas is considered primitive, meaning there are no showers, drinking water or electrical outlets. However, there are composting toilets available for camper use.

Point Reyes National Park

Located a short drive from San Francisco, Point Reyes National Park is a popular camping destination in California. Camping sites are located right next to the beach or on bluffs overlooking the sea, providing gorgeous views from almost any camping ground. The park offers many activities including hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, and biking. On days when you want a glimpse of civilization, hop in the car and drive to San Francisco for a romantic stroll among the city’s famous streets. Unlike some other popular coastline campgrounds, Point Reyes does accept reservations, and it’s advised to book far in advance since camping grounds are in high demand. Note that no car camping is allowed in this park: sites are accessible only by foot, horseback or bike.
