Jamestown, VA.
The Mark Twain house in CT (the wh ole darn state of CT!!)
Yosemite, Yosemite, Yosemite...the first time is the just the most surreal feeling...
Carpenteria, CA (trains and all, great time kayaking and great little city)

And just the most wonderful place when I was young....(er), Disneyland.  Met my hubby there when I was 14 and still get excited when I go ;)  :D

There are no BAD camping places, but my favorite are:

1.  Yellowstone/Grand Tetons
2.  Maine - in general, Acadia included
3.  BIg Meadows CG on Skyline Drive in VA
4.  Badlands, SD.
5.  Promised Land State Park, Poconos, PA

We also loved Utah NP's and the southwest, but we didn't camp there.

In no particular order

1) Prince Edward Island, Canada

2) Vermont almost anywhere in the mts. but especially fond of the area around Brandon.

3) Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada

4) Savannah, Georgia- A beautiful pre-civial war historic district....liked it so much we bought a home there!!

5) Banif, Alberta, Canada - awsome!

Lots more places that definitely  are right up there but these are the 5 that for some reason have made the strongest impression

Gone-Camping

Ummm, I could list the Blue Ridge Parkway as ALL FIVE for me! There are hundreds of things and places to visit and see along the way...
 
Ditto to a lesser extent for Skyline Drive/Shenandoah Nat Park...
 
Driving through the Mohawk Trail (Rt-2) in the Massachusettes Berkshire Mountains....
 
Calvin Coolidge State Park in Vermont, and the adjoining Coolidge Homestead and museum...
 
The Historic Triangle/Colonial Parkway (Williamsburg, Jamestown, & Yorktown)...
