PORTLAND, Ore., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping availability, photos and reviews, has announced the 2024 Best Places To Camp Regional Awards based on reviews and ratings from its vast community of campers. These destinations include some of the hottest and trendiest campgrounds of the past year, popular picks from The Dyrt campers, and well-established, sought-after properties that make their way onto this list every year.

The Dyrt Announces the 2024 Best Places to Camp: Top 10 in the Pacific Region

"Camping is more of a year-round activity now than it's ever been, but I still love May because it's the traditional beginning of the camping season, and we get to unveil our annual lists of the Best Places to Camp in each region of the country," says Sarah Smith, founder of The Dyrt. "On this year's lists we see private campgrounds that are working harder than ever to provide the amenities that campers desire these days, while also remaining true to the essence of providing an experience in nature. Free camping locations on some of the most naturally beautiful land in the country dominate this year's lists as well. Congratulations to all the winners. Campers, update your bucket lists!"

Here are the Top 10 in the Pacific Region:

Bay Point Landing — Oregon
Hidden Valley Campground — Joshua Tree National Park — California
Elkamp Eastcreek — Washington
Lyre River Campground — Washington
Cape Lookout State Park — Oregon
Salt Creek Recreation Area — Washington
Hoodview Campground — Oregon
Burlington Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park — California
Shooting Star Sanctuary and Retreat — Yosemite National Forest — California
Cougar Rock Campground — Mount Rainier National Park — Washington

The West Coast is home to three of the country's most iconic camping states. The Dyrt's 2024 Camping Report presented by The All-New Toyota Tacoma shined a spotlight on Oregon, California and Washington and discovered some interesting statistics. West Coast campers are more likely to identify truck camping and camper van as their primary camping type, and they're less likely to RV. West Coasters were also 29% less likely to be first-time campers in 2023 as compared to the national average.

Bay Point Landing, an ideal mix of luxury and location, is No. 1 after being 10th in 2022 and No. 3 last year. Hidden Valley in world-famous Joshua Tree National Park and Elkamp Eastcreek, a base camp for Mount Rainier, round out the Top 3.

"Not only is it a great stay but it comes with an experience!" says The Dyrt camper Lauren P. about Shooting Star Sanctuary and Retreat, No. 9 on the list. "We watched sheep roam, held goats, fed pigs, and played with some kittens. We will definitely be returning."

The 2024 Camping Report also found that nearly 85 million Americans went camping last year. With that many people and that much demand, "the perfect camping trip" can mean so many different things. The 2024 Best Places to Camp Regional Awards reflect that.

"There's no concrete, one-size-fits-all definition as to what makes for a great camping experience," says The Dyrt CEO Kevin Long. "There's something for everyone in every region in the Best Places to Camp Regional Awards. These lists can also be an invitation to explore a new region. Now's the time for all the people who have discovered camping in the past few years to really spread their wings and take their love of camping to the next level. Get on the road this summer and check these places out!"
