Rating:
Summary: Not much of a book in my opinion
Review: As somone who used to date Dennis, I found his writings more entertaining then his actual personality.
This book doesnt tell much that I couldn't find out from any other book.
Good try though.

Summary: Not a great buy
Review: I have been researching camping in Yosemite using this book as a guide. From what I've found, this book is a terrible reference. The index gives the wrong page numbers for specific campgrounds, and the information given has turned out to be wrong for most of the campgrounds I have looked at. In trying to make my reservations I found errors ranging from whether or not the site required a reservation to whether or not RVs are allowed in the campground to whether or not there was running water at the site.

Summary: Excellent campground book!
Review: Other guides that my husband and I have used are filled with cold and sterile facts about each campground. This book, however, provides easy to read, heart-felt narratives, with accurate opinions as to what to expect at each campground. It is extremely helpful for us to know that a campground has no privacy, is very crowded, or is nothing more than an "asphalt parking lot." This book is more than a simple listing of the number of sites, how to get there, and other innocuous facts. A truly great guide for all campers!

Summary: An indispensable guide for car campers.
Review: This guide rates and reviews hundreds of campgrounds including county parks which are often overlooked by other guides. It is illustrated with black and white photographs and contains a helpful index by rating. Campgrounds are rated from 1 to 5. 5 means it is a perfect, not to be missed site; 1 means it is acceptable only when desperate.
Reviews are one paragraph to a page or more in length and include reservation information, number of sites, facilities, maps and driving directions, as well as nearby recreational activities. Reviews give the reader a clear idea of what to expect from each campground. Look for key words and phrases that tell all: secluded, private, remote, too darn crowded, hordes of day visitors, or too much asphalt. This is a detailed, well-organized guide. Don't leave home without it!.
