No trip to Disneyland is complete without meeting Mickey Mouse, riding “It’s a Small World” and watching the fireworks go off behind Cindarella’s castle. Similarly, there are certain milestones associated with camping. Fortunately, escaping into the woods isn’t as expensive as taking a trip to Disneyland. And you don’t need to be in Anaheim to do it. In other words, it’s OK if you don’t complete all the camping “musts” in one trip. After all, camping is often about relaxing. No one wants the pressure of having to check a bunch of things off a list in the course of one weekend. Still, conquering challenges can be exciting and it’s definitely rewarding. Whether you camp four times a year or full-time, below is the ultimate camping bucket list. And no, you don’t need to do the items in order.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
Make checkout easy by booking all your reservations at once. Add your sites from different campgrounds into your shopping cart* and then choose checkout.
