Best Tent Camping Books Out There!,
By Thomas Horsch (Damascus, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: The Carolinas: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RVs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
I have used the Tent Camping Florida book by this author to the pint where the margins have no more room for notes! It is my tent camping bible when I'm on the road.I also own several other of his books.
I am a sales rep and prefer to camp rather than take my chances at some hotels. The books by this author are accurate, insightful and dead on when it comes to giving realistic portraits of the various campgrounds. I especially like them because he points out places you may not be able to locate with a simple internet search, plus gives you the best secluded tent spots! Buy these books with confidence and enjoy the experience of tenting in some of the nicest off-the-beaten-path parks around!
5.0 out of 5 stars

Helpful book,
This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: The Carolinas: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RVs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
I found this book to be very simple and helpful. It tells just enough without going into great novel length. It offers rating in a side bar on beauty, safety, noise, pets, showers and toilets and such. I've used this book several times and is has been great.
