As the title suggests, this book is an EXCELLENT resource if you, like me, love to find the beautiful, out-of-the-way, quiet places to camp away from the RV crowds. I found this book in my local library, and checked it out 3 times for trips to Missouri, and now have finally purchased my own copy.

Each trip I was able to use this book to plan my itinerary in advance, pick exactly the places I wanted to camp and even the best campsites, as well as the hiking and other activities I wanted to do while in the area. With each campground featured you get a good idea of what makes that spot special, a detailed description (and map) of the campground so you can select the site that best fits your tastes, and a description of hiking trails and natural features to check out in the area. There are good directions, and side bars that summarize the details: cost, number of campsites, facilities available, contact and reservation info, etc.

This is a book I will use again and again as I camp!

This book is an excellent resource for anyone who plans on camping in Missouri or northern Arkansas. Campground descriptions are detailed and provide you with all the information you will need. Steve Henry has also written excellent books on hiking and biking in Missouri.

What a fabulous guide to campsites in the state of Missouri. The guide was so helpful, user friendly and honest! We did not run into loud music nor any RV's at the campsites we chose. I am only hopefull that this guide is made for every state!

This book is very thorough in its breakdown of the campgrounds included in it. I like the fact that this guy has obviously been to all of them and has a clear understanding of the positive and negatives of virtually every single camping site. The only negative is that I wish privately owned campgrounds were included in the book. Other than that I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to tent camp.
