Reservations For Camping On July 4th

Camping on summer holiday weekends is really popular so reserve your campsite early. If you waited too long and everything is booked, just go remote camping. If you’ve never done that before, I’ve got Dispersed Camping Tips and a Video to help you.

July 4th Camping In National Forests

One of the best places to camp on July 4th is in National Forests.

If your favorite campgrounds are booked, you can easily find a remote camping site available inside the Forests.

For our family, it is actually our preferred style of camping but if you have never done it before, there are rules you need to be aware of before you go … you’ll find tons of tips in our Camping In National Forests post.

Also, the authorities place fire restrictions on National Forest land when the conditions are dangerous and they are especially cautious when the crowds are big and camping on July 4th is one of those times.

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States. Read more…
