I'm trying to talk my wife into camping out of state and trying new places.  How many different states have you camped in or do you just stay local?  Which was your favorite?

We primarily camp within the state of Pennsylvania due to a self imposed driving radius.  As our 2 year old son gets older we will start to expand our radius. 

I did go to Virginia for the Boy Scout Jamboree last summer, but that was a solo run.  My SIL and BIL are moving to Arizona in a few years.  I already told DW we will do a 2 week cross country road trip to visit them.

Wow.  I stopped counting.

Get out and go.  A bad day camping is better than a great day at work!

we love camping out of state! ;D
one reason is that other states' campgrounds often have hookups available at lots of sites, Oregon being one of them.
while, in California, less than 1% of state campsites have any kind of hookups. and those few are reserved almost year-round.

we have no problems camping in other states, that's why our trailer has WHEELS! if we wanted to stay in one spot, we wouldn't have bought a trailer, we would just rent a cabin.

Did a 17 day Rochester to Disney/Daytona Beach trip this year. Youngest is 11 months, oldest is 11 years. We had a blast.

Been to two states as an adult. Been to lots more as a kid as we took the trailer on a 2-3 week trip from PA to the Grand Canyon in AZ. Out was a Southern trip missing GA and FL. Back was Northern Route. Not many stops on the way back. Just over nighters.

We camp almost as much in state as out.  I think we have camped in 10 states.

We don't often camp out of state because Pennsylvania has a lot of beautiful state parks and almost that have camping have a decent number of sites with electric.

There are some state and county campgrounds in northern New Jersey we want to check out. Other than that, Ohio is the only other state where we've camped, when we went to Kelleys Island State Park.
