The best camping near American Memorial Park guide

Overview

About

People come here to pay their respects to those from the Marianas Islands and the United States who sacrificed their lives here during WWII. But this park offers more than monuments and an interactive museum. Stunning white sand beaches, 30 acres of protected wetlands and a mangrove forest let you luxuriate in the beauty of the island — or stop at Micro Beach for the best windsurfing in the Marianas. Two playgrounds and four tennis courts give you a chance to blow off some energy before you relax for a picnic.

Seriously, though, don't neglect the museum. Real-time video from the Suicide Cliffs helps you understand how this island turned the tide of WWII in the Pacific, and watching it makes your visit to the actual Suicide and Banzai cliffs so much more meaningful. Yeah, it's a U.S. National Park, but the exhibits are really well-balanced between the U.S. and Japanese views, and you'll walk away with a new depth of knowledge and appreciation for what happened here. (And you may appreciate the air conditioning in the visitor center as well.)

Outside, walking paths let you explore the whole park, including the cemetery holding those who died here, a graceful bell tower, lovely tropical gardens, and some shareable views of Managaha Island across the water.

There's no camping or restaurants at the park (but may be on private land nearby through Hipcamp!), but you're walking distance from the Garapan tourist district here — so walk on over to take in a little history and see Saipan in a new way.
