This article is a travel topic.
In the United States, campsites are either on government-owned lands, such as national, state, and county parks and forests, or are privately owned.
There is much variation in how you claim a site. Some parks may allow, or even require, reservations to be made in advance. In others, it is first come, first serve. You will usually get a tag to display at your campsite to indicate you have paid for it.
Daily rates for campsites range from zero to $25, depending on location, season, and how many amenities are provided. Grounds often have different rules and rates during popular holiday weekends, such as Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
