2.0 out of 5 stars
not worth it,

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: New Mexico: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RVs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Best Tent Camping) (Paperback)
This book is not worth buying. I bought (regrettably) this book and the 'best tent camping in new mexico'. this review will cover both books as I think both of them are a waste of money, and more importantly vacation time. The proper title for them should be 'best tent camping with a RV'. I'll give an example from each book: 1) The Utah best tent camping with RV suggest among other RV sites to put your tent in the 'Horsethief' campground when visiting Canyonlands. Well, while it is a good campground, there are plenty of RVs there. We were mildly put very surprised to find another campground a few miles closer to Canyonlands with a clear sign saying 'no trailers'. This campground is not even mentioned in the [worthless] book. And it is even nicer than 'horsethief'. 2) The example from 'best tent camping with an RV in new mexico' comes from the 'pancho villa state park' camping. Wow, this one claimed to be beautiful and great for tents, was almost unbelievable. It has ONLY RV sites on pavement about 30-100 ft from a highway, enclosed by a cattle fence. It's like camping in a parking lot next to a highway. I can only assume the rest of this series is the same, but I will not spend money or vacation time to find out. My suggestion is to go where you want to go and find nice camping on site. It is possible, although I don't believe it myself, that the sites recommended in these books have changed since print, but in any case they are not what one would expect from a book with this title. I give it 2 stars because some sites are nice although the recommendations are worth minus one star.

This a great book for getting you started camping in NM. I would advise to always go online to get updates for certain sites but with this book you can plan a great trip.

We used this book to select a campground for a memorial weekend camping trip. The suggestions are nice, and the campground we stayed at was pretty much as described. But I found this book to be simply a list of suggestions and not a whole lot more. While that is still useful to me, the descriptions seemed a little monotonous and redundant and didn't really help to distinguish one campground from another. If you're at a lack for resources, I would still recommend this book, but it may not help you narrow down your choices, other than by location.
