Review

"This is a great resource for families looking for scenic, secluded locations where they can easily take the kids, or for those folks who don't have the time or the inclination for a full-scale backpacking trip."- Backpacker Magazine

From the Back Cover

If you subscribe to the opinion that televisions, Japanese lanterns, and electric guitars are not essential camping equipment, The Best in Tent Camping should be your constant companion. From the Mark Twain National Forest to the Buffalo National River, Ozarks camping has never been better. The Best in Tent Camping: The Ozarks is a guidebook for tent campers who like quiet, scenic, and serene campsites. It's the perfect resource if you blanch at the thought of pitching a tent on a concrete slab, trying to sleep through the blare of another camper's boombox, or waking to find your tent surrounded by a convoy of RVs. The Best in Tent Camping: The Ozarks will guide you to the quietest, most beautiful, most secure, and best managed campgrounds in Missouri and Arkansas. Painstakingly selected from hundreds of campgrounds in the two states, each campsite is rated for beauty, noise, privacy, security, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Each campground profile provides essential details on facilities, reservations, fees, and restrictions, as well as an accurate, easy-to-read map making the campground a snap to locate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ozark Camping Guide I've found., July 17, 2002

It's not exactly easy to find Ozark specific camping guides but this one seems to contain all of the most important information. It is especially nice since it avoids all the road-side "campgrounds" and lists instead REAL camping areas, most of which are free to the general public. The book rates sites according to scenic appeal, safety and price and gives good tips for when and where to find the best (most secluded or picturesque sites). If you want an Ozarks Tenting Guide & like the idea of camping for absolutely FREE in the most beautiful areas that The Ozarks have to offer...this book is for you! Maybe we will see each other somewhere along The Buffalo River. I will be the sweaty guy, wandering aimlessly through the forest trying to find his Jeep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shhhh, don't tell anyone Steve., March 23, 2004

Steve Henry gets it. If you camp because you love the beauty, solitude and adventure of the outdoors, then you'll love this book. Mr. Henry's advice has led us to some amazing sites in the Ozarks. I almost hesitate to recommend the book because I'd rather keep these places secret.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!, June 26, 2001

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: The Ozarks (Best in Tent Camping - Menasha Ridge) (Paperback)

This is a must read if you do a lot of camping. Steve Henry really puts the fun back into camping. This book makes you remember that camping isn't about the rv's and portable electronics, but the greatness of being outside.
