The Dyrt, the app to get the best campsites, built by the largest RVing and camping community in the U.S., has announced the 2026 Best Places to Camp With Kids Presented by Kelty, an outdoor gear brand known for creating thoughtfully designed equipment that makes it easier for families to get outside and explore together.
Memories of childhood camping trips can fuel a camper for life. Whether it was one amazing trip that will never be forgotten or an annual summertime tradition, adult campers want to provide those same memories for their own kids. And while times have changed and amenities have reclassified some campgrounds as outdoor resorts, it’s still about experiencing the great outdoors and making new memories. That being said, a lot of campgrounds pull out all the stops and make sure kids have more than enough to do, and that parents can still fit in some rest and relaxation.
Best Places to Camp With Kids recognizes the top campgrounds in the country that cater to younger campers. From playgrounds and fishing ponds to arcades and bounce houses, these campgrounds have activities for days, and provide a welcome respite for guardians to enjoy the great outdoors themselves.
Recognized multiple times in recent years by The Dyrt’s Best Places to Camp in the Northeast Region, Normandy Farms in Massachusetts is a kid camper’s dream and a true luxury camping destination. It has every amenity imaginable and then a few more that you probably didn’t think of. From an 18-hole disc golf course to multiple playgrounds and pools to a 20,000-square-foot recreation lodge, this is a tough place to tell the kids, “OK, it’s time to go home.”
Of course Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground in Florida and Jellystone Park™ Quarryville in Pennsylvania made the list, because what kid doesn’t like Mickey Mouse and Yogi Bear? Another campground that couldn’t be overlooked is Dinosaur Valley State Park Campground in Texas. Because while imagination and cartoons are great, something about stepping into actual dinosaur tracks brings a new sense of wonderment to a child’s mind.
