One of the best ways to enjoy the country’s natural beauty is visiting national parks. The week from April 19 to April 27 is National Park Week, a major occasion for the landmarks. To celebrate, the campground booking platform Campspot compiled a list of the parks campers are most interested in this year.

Analysts examined traveler data from the website to determine the top trending national parks in 2025. More specifically, they researched customer check-in dates submitted to Campspot. The national parks with the most check-in dates were considered more popular.

According to the study, Yosemite National Park is people’s top pick. This California landmark is known for its breathtaking waterfalls and diverse landscapes in Yosemite Valley, as well as the remarkable view from Glacier Point.

The next national park campers are interested in is Yellowstone, which spans Wyoming and parts of Montana and Idaho. This famous location became the first national park in the world when it was established in 1872, and it still attracts visitors from far and wide. Yellowstone boasts several amazing features, such as its geothermal areas and vast canyons, making it a must-see for anyone into the great outdoors.

Montana’s Glacier National Park takes the third spot on the list. Snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows, and gorgeous lakes are only some sights waiting at the park. It even has over 700 miles of trails for those who love a scenic stroll.
