Review:
Now in its second edition, The Best In Tent Camping Virginia is a no-nonsense outdoors companion and "user friendly" guide for tent campers who prefer serene campsites and eschew RV's. Written by campers who have set their tents and evaluated grounds for years, The Best In Tent Camping Virginia offers choice sites with campground layout maps, information on fees, restrictions, and dates of operation, ratings for beauty, privacy, spaciousness, quiet, security, and cleanliness, and a thorough evaluation with particular notes unique to each locale. Highly recommended for any would-be Virginia tent camper looking for an optimum experience.

Summary: A great guide to Virginia's public campgrounds
Review: Tent campers who crave the peace and quiet of wilderness and traveling families who just want to save money by camping will appreciate this guidebook. Fifty campgrounds are reviewed and mapped with key information handily summarized in sidebars. In this second edition (2004), writer Marie Javins updated Randy Porter's book. Both writers are from Virginia and show a love of this state's natural beauty. Expect to find the usual basics, full narrative descriptions to help you plan your trip, and even internet contact information. Travelers will appreciate the tips on getting around, not only by car but in some cases by canoe or by public transit.
