Our brand new book, Where Should We Camp Next? A 50 State Guide to Amazing Campgrounds and other Unique Outdoor Accomdations has over 300 total campgrounds recommendations with 5-11 reviews in each state. Our book also offers up a unique badge system to help readers quickly identify campgrounds that have certain very specific qualities. The badge system gives the following stamps to a limited number of excellent "waterfront," "glamping," "romantic weekend," "rustic," and "family," campgrounds. We wanted to give our readers a sample of some of the campground reviews that appear in the book. So on today's episode of The RV Atlas podcast, and here on our blog, we are giving you a small sample of just a few of the campgrounds that earned the family friendly badge.

Now you might be thinking that most campgrounds are family friendly, so why give a badge to a small handful? We decided to award this badge to certain campgrounds because they were designed with families specifically in mind. The sample below is excerpted directly from Where Should We Camp Next? and it offers you just a small taste of what the book has to offer!

Without further ado, here are ten of the best family-friendly campgrounds in the country! To find more great picks like these make sure to pick up a copy of our new book! We are sure we will love it and it will help you plan amazing vacations for years to come!

Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort, Foxboro Massachusetts

Normandyfarms.com

Cabins, Yurts, Pop-Ups, Safari Tents

Normandy Farms was a clear precursor to the current crop of fashionable luxury RV resorts on the East Coast--and it still might be the best.  This place has everything and it may actually succeed at being all things to all people. They offer seemingly nonstop organized activities for kids and teenagers--like Ga Ga Ball and softball tournaments. And they also offer one-of-a-kind facilities like a challenging Bike Track and a Creative Arts Center for movie nights.  Adults will love working out in the fitness center, getting a massage in the wellness center, and relaxing in the jacuzzi or reading a book in the adult loft.

Four legged camping companions will also love the gigantic dog park, which is the largest dedicated outdoor pet recreation area we have seen in a decade of camping. Everyone will love the four huge pools and the well-trained staff who are present throughout the park. Some RV sites are out in the open, but many are shaded and private. Pop Up camper rentals can be dropped onto your site and the new safari tents are stylish and comfortable.

Lincoln Woodstock KOA Holiday: Woodstock, New Hampshire

https://koa.com/campgrounds/woodstock/

Camping Cabins, Deluxe Cabins, Safari Tents, RV and Tent Sites

This is one of the best KOA campgrounds in America. The White Mountains are filled with every kind of outdoor adventure imaginable and this delightful campground is a perfect basecamp for your adventures. Our boys loved the huge open field and the fun planned activities, like hayrides, that run most nights during the summer. Owners Rob and Darlene take pride in their park and they can also guide you to the best local hikes and launch points for your kayak or canoe.

The Lincoln/Woodstock is also incredibly pet-friendly. Every KOA has a dog park, but this one is huge and really fun for your favorite furry friend. They also offer kenneling services for those who want to take day trips and leave their pups at the campground.  We visited during the World Cup a few years back and enjoyed watching a game or two in the comfortable common area--and were always made to feel at home. To say that we can’t wait to get back would be a massive understatement.
