Camp Spot

Swimming In The Stars

Polihale State Park, HI

"A solo backpacking trip took me all over Kauai last fall, and I fell asleep here on Polihale Beach to the sound of waves booming as they collided with the shore.

The stars were so bright it felt like I was swimming in them. In the morning I awoke to a double rainbow shining down into the ocean, and wandered the beach with only the feral cats for company."

Resurrection Bay

Camping bayside in Alaska is the perfect complement to an overnight sea-kayaking trip around the shale covered, forest-framed beaches of Caines Head.

Twin Lakes Night Sky

These campers learned a valuable lesson in the San Isabel National Forest: always have the camera ready due to Mother Nature’s unpredictability.

Halfway to Shasta

If you don’t mind the wintry wind chills, you’re pretty much guaranteed a campspot far away from any traffic and noise as you’re halfway up to the summit of Mt. Shasta.
