Summary: Excellent & thorough source of info for wisconsin campers
Review: I was just browsing a book store one day, looking for something new, and found this jem. I had been relying on the internet and public radio for my camping information, both good sources to be sure, but this book pretty much gave me the run-down I needed, with all of the necessary maps and directions. I do hate rvs, concrete slabs, and loud portable stereos when I am camping. This book thoroughly rates each campground according to scenic attractions, quiet (close to highways, noise), privacy, spaciousness, upkeep, and security. It lets you know some history about each campground, attractions of each, such as types of trees and fish that can be caught in nearby or on-site rivers and lakes. I really appreciate knowing which campgrounds need reservations and which are first-come first served. And there's some history about each area to boot. What is especially nice about this book is how the author rates individual site numbers within the campgrounds - absolutely necessary information if you're making a reservation at a campground you haven't been to before, and are lloking for something specific, such as privacy. I was looking for a site on a lake shore that required boat (not car) access, and I found it pretty quickly. I was looking for a nice site near waterfalls, and there it was. I was looking for something private and spacious in a specific part of the state, and the book laid it all out for me. I was looking for something on a bluff or hillside that had a commanding view, and wasn't disappointed.

Summary: From Wisconsin? Then you know more.
Review: If you're from Wisconsin, skip this book. You already know everything (and more) that this author has to offer. It seems he just sent away for a few state park maps, and then walks around the public campgrounds deciding what campsite is best. People, if you can't judge a campsite without someone explaining it to you, you need to spend more time outdoors. I find one should be skeptical of any "Wisconsin Guidebook" that has Indiana sharing the Southern border with Wisconsin, and places Illinios where Iowa should be. Please. The author and writer ought to be ashamed of themselves.
