Texas RV resort makes list of 'bucket list' camping destinations in 2024
Oak Forest RV Resort is a "bucket list" destination, according to Campspot.
A Texas RV park has made a list of the best camping destinations of 2024, according to a new report by Campspot.
The online campsite finder ranked a "bucket list" of areas and campsites based on popularity for travelers to reinvigorate their sense of connection with nature.
Campspot suggests Texas travelers looking to camp should visit Oak Forest RV Resort, less than 10 miles east of downtown Austin. The resort provides accommodations for motorhomes, fifth-wheel RVs, and travel trailers. Fully furnished rental cabins are also available for vacationers or small groups who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, but keep amenities such as an on-site playground, ping pong tables, bocce ball courts, dog parks, resort-style pool, and hot tub.
Austin ranked No. 18 on the list, out of the 24 U.S. locales. Denver came in at No. 1.
"Campers in Austin can enjoy the city’s live music scene, eclectic food options, and cultural attractions alongside its many outdoor attractions, including riverside sites along the Colorado River to the serene landscapes of McKinney Falls State Park," the report's author wrote. "With the opportunity for hiking, rock climbing, and water activities in the nearby lakes, camping in Austin provides a perfect balance between urban excitement and outdoor adventure in the heart of Texas."
Campers looking toward the Hill Country should set their sights on Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, or Lazy L&L Campground in New Braunfels, which were among Campspot's Best Campgrounds in America in 2023.
The top 10 best places to camp in 2024 are:
- No. 1 – Denver, Colorado
- No. 2 – Oxford, Florida
- No. 3 – Yellowstone National Park
- No. 4 – Great Smoky Mountains National Park
