With the recent surge in camping popularity
and as the Summer camping season is quickly approaching,
ReserveAmerica, the United State’s leading recreation
reservation and campground management solutions provider,
today released it’s second annual "Top 100 Family
Campgrounds" listing, created to help consumers plan a trip
to the great outdoors in America’s greatest ‘hidden gem’
locations. The list was developed in part by park rangers,
regional park management and campers who write testimonials,
rate campgrounds and provide feedback throughout the year.
Nearly 3,000 parks were reviewed and the final 100
campgrounds were chosen based on specific family friendly
criteria ranging from educational programs and visitor
centers to camping amenities and overall beauty and scenery.
Popularity for camping is surging with a 73% increase in
reservations on March 1, 2004, of which more than 60% of the
reservations were made online at www.ReserveAmerica.com
