A Very Handy Guide!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is my favorite campground finder for the West. It is the best. Period. Who am I and why do I say that? I am an AVID Casita camper who (along with my husband and a dog) has made it my mini mission to camp in every area of the West. While I am in an area I scout out other campgrounds in the area (for future use) and to see if I agree with what Moon's sez. I take notes in the book. What this book is NOT: It is not filled with advertisements. In fact, I do not think it has any. It does not tell you where Wal-marts are, where cheap gas is or where you can pick up fuel filters for your Monaco. What this book IS: Well organized, logical, easily referenced, straightforward, honest and accurate (in ratings - NOT pricing). It is voluminous. It is compact. Miscellanea: The scenic ratings are fairly accurate. I have stayed at or visited most of the camps in the Olympics and along the Oregon coast and they have proven themselves accurate (IMO) within a point or so. I think they favor lakes over rives and I given to get a little more dreamy over mossy fog shrouded trees and cliff banks over the ocean than they do. I also think they include boat ramp access as part of the scenic rating. But I know that now and can read into that with their rating. They admit that scenic is very subjective - I think they do a very even handed, objective job with their ratings - given the subjective nature of it.
Very thorough and easy to use

This book is very organized and easy to use. Each section or chapter of the book explains each regions of the three states with locator maps and road maps. The symbols (a picture of a dog for dog friendly site, a picture of a fish for fishing site, etc.) that are being used to explain key interest of each campground are very useful for quick reference. Moreover, the book also list best of campgrounds such as best fishing and best wildlife viewing. We are a rv camper beginner and I found this book to be very helpful
Paid for itself already

Being new to RVing, I wanted to explore all the books that would show where there was camping and parks while on the road. After buying and looking thru 4 other books, I came to the conclusion that my money was wasted on the others, and that I wished I had just bought this book. Fantastic setup, easy to read, very clear and informative for even a newby like me. I cannot say enough good about this book, I love it, it will always be in my RV!
