Campgrounds
are investing more and more in park model cabins and cottages which have
kitchens that enable people to cook their own meals. But some campgrounds, RV
parks and resorts also provide their guests with onsite restaurants whose
food is so good it’s worth the drive just to eat
there.

Here’s a sampling of other campgrounds across the
country that have onsite restaurants as well as restaurants that have their
own campgrounds:

• The Evergreens
  Campground & Restaurant in Solon, Maine:
  This campground has an onsite restaurant that serves a variety of dishes,
  including burgers, meatloaf, chicken, pork chops as well as vermicelli

  which is located in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, is home to the very
