Planning for a camping this summer? World has a vast diversity of options, but we have handpicked some of the ancient campsites that can take you away from 2020. Check them out:
Los Padres National Forest, California
About 1,700 million years old land, the forest is so huge it covers 1.75 million acres. But to go seriously back in time, head toward Mt. Pinos near Frazier Park. These mountain trails will take you to the first days of California’s emergence from the sea. While many of the campgrounds and picnic areas are easily reached by vehicle, much of the forest is remote and unroaded. And this is the reason enough for the campers seeking adventure.

Isle Royale National Park, Michigan
It’s the largest island in Lake Superior, formed as a result of North America almost splitting in two about a billion years ago, making it one of the ancient campsites. This campers’ paradise is a land mostly containing water. And although it is a national park, you won’t find many crowds while you are social distancing. Its secluded environment makes it the perfect location for visitors to connect with the beauty around it.
Cathedral Provincial Park, B.C.
It takes a day of hiking to get to this campground at the centre of Cathedral Provincial Park, in the Cascade Mountains west of B.C.’s Okanagan. So its not a place you can easily plan to go. Four of the park’s lakes were stocked with trout in the 1930s. If you don’t feel like hiking in, you can arrange to hitch a ride to the centre of the park on a shuttle operated by Cathedral Lake Lodge.
