21 Best Places to Camp in the world
1. Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
Torres del Paine National Park is a national park in the extreme south of Chile, Patagonia. The park was created in 1959 and covers an area of around 12,000 square kilometers.
It is sometimes described as one of the seven natural wonders of the world and has also been called “the most beautiful place on earth” by several explorers including Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Edmund Hillary.
The park includes three major mountain ranges: Los Cuernos (the Horns), Fitzroy Range, and Cerro Castillo which together form an impressive backdrop for many beautiful landscapes including lakes surrounded by snowfields, glaciers with peaks rising above 13 000 feet (4 100 meters).
2. Banff National Park, Canada
Banff National Park is a Canadian national park that covers the towns of Banff, Lake Louise, and Yoho National Parks. It’s named after the town of Banff in Alberta.
The park boasts some of Canada’s most beautiful scenery—including towering mountains and glaciers—and has been called one of the world’s greatest natural wonders by many travel writers.
The area was first inhabited by Native tribes who lived here for thousands of years before Europeans arrived in 1885 when gold was discovered along its banks with several gold mines operating at different times throughout history until now (when it’s still an active mining town).

4. The Inca Trail, Peru
The Inca Trail is one of the most popular treks in the world, and for good reason. This 1,800-mile trek passes through some of Peru’s most spectacular landscapes: from snow-capped peaks to lush valleys and volcanoes. It is also one that you can do with a group or on your own—
it’s not too difficult to manage at all levels of fitness or experience (though it does involve some climbing).
The trail starts in Cusco, Peru’s second-largest city (after Lima), where you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush mountains as soon as you leave town. As you head northward into Chilechuna National Park, there are numerous waterfalls along this section of your journey;
otherwise known as “the mother river,” this water source provides drinking water for people living nearby who don’t have access to regular supplies from outside sources like taps or bottled water bottles filled up with tap water instead.”
5. The Overland Track, Australia
The Overland Track is a 65-kilometer-long, one-way hiking trail in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It passes through the heart of Tasmania’s southern wilderness and can be completed in 12 days if you are fit and experienced.

6. The Milford Track, New Zealand
The Milford Track is one of the most popular hiking tracks in New Zealand. It’s also a 93km, five-day hike through the Fiordland National Park that takes you on a journey through some of New Zealand’s most spectacular natural beauty.
The Milford Track was named after Captain George Vancouver who found it in 1853 while exploring these lands. He named it after his ship, The Milford, which had been wrecked nearby during an earlier voyage across these waters.
In fact, there are several other nearby islands called “Vancouver” that was named after him as well! The scenery along this route is just incredible and if you’re looking for some great wildlife-watching opportunities then look no further than Fiordland National Park itself!

Mount Kilimanjaro has two summits: Marangu (5353 meters) and Mawenzi (5895 meters). The base camp for climbing is located at Uhuru Peak on a wide plateau called Barafu which lies at an elevation of 3200 meters above sea level.
There are several routes up to this point where you can either walk or use porters to help you carry your gear up the mountain route!
8. The Himalayas, Nepal
If you’re looking for somewhere to go camping, the Himalayas are a great option. The mountains are home to Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth. The region also has several other beautiful peaks including Kanchenjunga and Annapurna I.
Visitors come from all over the world because of its varied terrain and many different climates. It’s an excellent destination for hiking enthusiasts who want to enjoy nature while they’re away from their home city or town!
In addition, this area is home to many endangered species such as snow leopards (which are listed as endangered) as well as black bears (which aren’t necessarily endangered but still need our help).

because there are so many different species of animals living here that you’re bound to see something new every day.The landscape of the Serengeti is open plains dotted with trees and shrubs—the perfect setting for animals to live their lives freely without interference from humans.
There are lions on both sides of the road; cheetahs; hyenas; wild dogs (including packs); elephants; giraffes; hippos…and so much more!
10. The Amazon Rainforest, South America
The Amazon Rainforest, located in South America and the largest rainforest in the world, is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. As such, it’s an amazing place for you to camp!
The Amazon River is one of the longest rivers in Brazil and Peru. It runs through this region with its tributaries before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at Belém (which means “white city”).
The waters are so clean that they’re considered safe for swimming all year round; however, don’t forget your life jacket because there are still crocodiles around!
11. The Okavango Delta, Botswana
The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important wetland areas in Africa. It’s also one of the best places to see wildlife, with over 450 species of birds, plus hippos and crocodiles!
Here you can explore on foot or by boat as long as you’re willing to go out into the middle of nowhere (which isn’t difficult). There are plenty of activities available at any time during your stay;
from fishing trips on Lake Ngami or swimming around hippo pools at Chobe National Park to game drives through this magical landscape full of riverside campsites where you’ll find yourself surrounded by animals all day long.
12. The Great Barrier Reef, Australia

and other plants that provide food for these animals as well as water sources for them to drink from during dry periods. While there are many animal species found here—including lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs—
it’s actually the elephants that make this region so popular with tourists every year because they provide some entertainment when wandering through tourist camps or sleeping inside tents at night!
The Serengeti has been protected since 1926 when it was given legal protection under international law due to its unique ecosystem that includes both savannah plains along with wooded areas where wildlife thrives naturally without human interference (except those who bring their own tents).
15. The Dead Sea, Jordan
The Dead Sea is a salt lake located in Jordan, just above the Red Sea. It’s the lowest point on earth at 1,312 ft below sea level and has been used for spiritual practices for thousands of years.
The Dead Sea is also known as “the baptismal font” because it’s so salty that people can float on their backs in its water! That may not sound like fun at all, but there are many reasons why this place deserves its fame—
it’s beautiful, doesn’t get too hot or cold (depending on how far south you go), and offers some great adventures too (like cliff jumping).
16. The Matterhorn, Switzerland
The Matterhorn is a mountain in the Swiss Alps that features one of the most famous and challenging climbs in the world. It’s easy to see why when you think about it: there are more than 3,000 steps and no cable cars or helicopters to help you get up there!
While this may sound daunting, it’s actually quite safe if you take your time (and bring proper equipment). You can climb as early as 10 am on weekdays but if you want an even earlier start time, call ahead of time and someone will meet you at the train station near where they live so they can guide your group up the mountain.
You’ll need:
- Proper hiking shoes/boots (no flip-flops)
- A daypack with snacks and water bottles packed inside
17. The Algarve, Portugal

18. The Blue Lagoon, Iceland
The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa found on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland, and it’s also one of the most unique experiences you will never forget.
The lagoon is fed by hot springs where seawater rises up from below, causing steam to form and create an area where you can relax as you watch dolphins swim around or take a swim yourself!
19. The Northern Lights, Norway
The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are a natural phenomenon that occurs in the night sky. They’re caused by solar particles colliding with Earth’s atmosphere and can be seen throughout all latitudes except for Antarctica. The most visible place to see them is in the Arctic Circle.
You can also see these lights at various places around Norway, Iceland and Canada—but if you want your own private show from this celestial showman himself (or herself), head south toward Sweden or Finland!
20. The Grand Canyon, USA
The Grand Canyon is a natural wonder that will leave you speechless. Located in Arizona, this national park is home to some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth, including towering red rock cliffs and vivid green forests.
The best time to visit is between May and October when temperatures are lower and there aren’t as many tourists around. Make sure you pack warm clothes and good shoes because the temperature can drop below freezing at night (even in summer) or during rainstorms!
If you’re looking for more than just camping out under the stars with a tent though then consider renting an RV or Airstream trailer so your group can stay together while exploring this amazing place together!
21. The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states
and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups that lived outside its borders. The earliest surviving section is said to be more than 5500 years old. It extends for about 20 miles across an area over 15 miles wide at its widest point.
It’s also known as The Longevity Wall because of its durability in harsh conditions that have changed little since it was first erected thousands of years ago!
