3.0 out of 5 stars A Reasonable Guide at a Reasonable Price, December 8, 1999

This review is from: Anderson's Campground & RV Park Travel Directory (Paperback)

For the camper traveling around the Eastern Seaboard, Anderson's is a useful resource. It is targeted to motorized journeys; the self-propelled would be better served elsewhere. The sections covering state, county, and national parks are welcome, useful, and often unavailable in other RV guides.

While listings are extensive, they do not cover all campgrounds in a given state. Maps and indexing system are adequate, although occasionally frustrating because of a seemingly random numbering scheme.

As with most other RV guides, Anderson's is partially fueled by advertising revenue. The ads are grouped together in their own section, which is less distracting than some competing formats.

Not great literature, nor does it pretend to be. It works well for what it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Campground owner's rating, February 9, 2000

This review is from: Anderson's Campground & RV Park Travel Directory (Paperback)

As a campground owner, I consider Anderson's directory one of the best sources of information available to the camper. This is because the information is obtained by the publishers of the directory who camp at our facilities and have experienced our campgrounds "first-hand". They are interested in the things which make your camping experience more enjoyable, i.e. clean facilities, friendly & efficient service, atmosphere, etc. They realize that you don't have an exceptional campground just because you have a flowerbed beside your bathhouse. These folks are experienced campers and know what campers are looking for. They also include comments from other campers who have visited our facilities. The directory provides the same information on directions, rates, and amenities that other directories do, but I feel it gives you a more personal feel of what the campground is like. I would highly recommend it. And if you have five campground owners/managers sign the designated area in the back of the book, you will receive a free directory the following year!
