As anyone who's ever hiked a trail or pitched a tent knows, camping can be a bracing adventure. Whether in a forest or stretched along the plains, camp life gives travelers a chance to reconnect with family, drink in fresh air and pretend that they intended to burn that marshmallow in the fire when making s'mores.
In the past, camping tended to necessitate a choice, though: Internet connection or great outdoors? Now, there's no need to unplug just because you're roughing it, thanks to the iPass wireless network, which boasts more than 125 campgrounds and 150 RV resorts, from ocean-side retreats to rugged desert locales. Campers can hike and canoe during the day, and check email before dinner, or keep up on work as the kids frolic, making for an easy transition back to "civilized" life.
The iPass network can even help in selecting a campground, since it features locations in an array of settings. For example, visitors to the Canyonlands Campground, in Moab Utah can amble along a creekside trail or go mountain biking, and still be within walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets. At Lanier's Campground in Surf City, North Carolina, campers can take part in beach bingo, shoot pool in the arcade room or play horseshoes. Those looking for a more rustic experience can pitch a tent at Moody Beach Campground in Maine, just a short distance from the ocean.
Other locations include Jellystone Park Camp in Nashville, Garden of the Gods Campground in Colorado Springs and Appalachian campsites along Route 78 in Pennsylvania. No matter where you decide to park your RV or claim your tent spot, there's no need to fret about all those emails filling your inbox or sending that important presentation in time. Just remember, though: no melted marshmallows near the laptop.
