Best Places to Go Camping in the South

While we love to sip a gin and tonic in one of the South's grand hotels, we're just as happy with a bottle of beer near a campfire in one of our region's more natural lobbies. But if you've never gone camping before or find that it's your turn to start organizing the family's annual outdoor adventure, finding the best place to pitch your tent (or hook-up your camper) can be overwhelming. That's why we've become super fans of Hip Camp, an Airbnb-style platform that lets you book campsites from hosts or find quick and easy information about state parks and other free camping areas.Here are our favorite Hip Camp finds in the South.
