Adventure Campgrounds? Yes, Please.

Traditional campgrounds often have nature as the main attraction. Some have a beach, hiking trails, or maybe an interpretive program or two. These are great places to camp, but what if the peace and quiet gets a bit, well…boring? These adventure campgrounds have you covered. They have beautiful natural settings and all the physical excitement you can handle!

Water Slides and Ziplines in Texas

adventure camping
Splashway Waterpark, Zip Lines, and Campgrounds in Sheridan, Texas, is a destination in and of itself. Sheridan isn’t really near a bigger city, but it doesn’t need to be. The waterpark’s wave pool, waterslides, and lazy river provide water fun for all ages.

Campground Zip Lines

Zip lines takes riders from platform to platform above the waterpark. Splashway’s waterpark provides discounted admission to campers in its well-serviced campground. The adventure campground features full hookups and pull-through sites as well as treed back-in sites. The campground staff host activities and theme nights, making a visit here one to remember. You can rent a cabin if camping isn’t your thing, and fishing, kayaking, and other sports are available when you need a break from the waterpark.

 Gatlinburg Campground Adventure fun

Adventure Bound’s camping resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee offers plenty for families to do. They have a waterslide, swimming pool, and “fun zone” including a 32-foot slide and bounce castle.
