A good beach read could change the entire summer vibe with one turned page at a time. From thrillers to historical stories, the genre of a novel is important; however, the location where you read a book gives you the chance to fully immerse yourself. If you enjoy the charm of a good book and the peaceful thrill of camping, here are four book pairings that align with popular campgrounds and bring the stories to life.
Thriller: Stephen King, Shirely Jackson, R.L. Stine. If one of these writers is your favorite author, you should visit Narrows Too campground located in Maine. A quick 30-minute drive from Acadia National Park, this campground is sure to bring a thrill to your camping experience. Just like the rolling mountains and endless skies described in any Stephen King novel, Narrows Too is the perfect place to curl up in a rented cottage and read your favorite thriller novel.
Fiction: From magic and fairies to dragons and princes, fiction brings readers out of their world and transports them to far away worlds. Bethpage Camp Resort in Virginia is the place for all readers who love fiction but want a real-life family fun adventure. Themed weekends, water slides, and mini-golf all contribute to Bethpage resort and appeal directly to the fiction-lovers heart. Whether you stay in a cottage or pull your RV in for the weekend, your fairytale adventure waits for you at Bethpage.
Historical Fiction: If you have ever wanted to learn more about the history of the United States or enjoyed a classic retelling of a historic event, then Drummer Boy Campground in Pennsylvania is the place for these book lovers. Located in the historic city of Gettysburg, Drummer Boy offers a mix of history and fun with pools and themed weekends. Whether you stay in a cabin or an RV, keep an ear out for the sound of the drummer boys of the Civil War. While opportunities to visit the National Military Park and downtown battlefield tours in Gettysburg satisfy any historic lovers’ heart, Drummer Boy has a little something for everyone.
Romance: A slight breeze, warm air, and a beautiful sunset set the scene for all romance readers at Mt. Hood Village Campground in Oregon. If romance is your choice, there is nothing cozier and more romantic than glamping in a fully equipped tiny house. While the expansive campground at Mt. Hood offers cabin rentals and plenty of space for RVS, the tiny house village located onsite provides a perfect backdrop to a romantic getaway. Each tiny home is individually named after their unique personalities. There are tiny homes that are pet friendly, and even ones that can sleep up to 5, but Ingrid is the perfect tiny house at the Mt Hood Tiny House Village for any Emily Henry romance fan.Â
If you are looking to close out summer strong, grab your favorite book, pick the matching campground, and start your reading adventure.
