From tent camping to RV hookups, there's something for everyone at Sturgis campgrounds. And of course, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy when you're not on your bike, like hiking, fishing, and exploring local history.

This spectacular All-American Road winds its way through the Beartooth Mountains, offering breathtaking views (and photo ops!) at every turn. And when you're ready to set up camp for the night, there are plenty of pull-offs and rest areas where you can do just that. Just be sure to bring your own water – it's scarce in these parts!

This beautiful stretch of highway winding through the Appalachian Mountains is absolutely perfect for motorcyclists looking to get away from it all. With over 60 miles of scenic views (including several overlooks), it's easy to find a spot to pull over and set up camp. Just be aware that since this road is so popular with bikers, it can get pretty crowded on weekends – so plan accordingly!
4. Route 66, Arizona
