"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: West Virginia should be your constant companion.
From the Allegheny Highlands to the Feudin' Country of the Hatfields and McCoys, camping in West Virginia has never been better. This 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: West Virginia will guide you to the quietest, most beautiful, most secure, and best managed campgrounds in the Mountain State. Painstakingly selected from hundreds of campgrounds, each campsite is rated for beauty, noise, privacy, security, spaciousness and cleanliness.
Each campground profile gives unbiased and thorough evaluations, taking the guess work out of finding the perfect site. Essential details on facilities, reservations, fees, and restrictions, as well as an accurate, easy-to-read campground map make locating the perfect site a snap. Also included are suggestions for nearby outdoor recreation and sightseeing, pinpointing attractions that often go unnoticed.

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: West Virginia, 2nd: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RV's, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
I was a tent camper for years, and this series of books "The Best in Tent Camping" has always been a wonderfully accurate resource in planning a camping trip. I especially enjoy the books Johnny Molloy has written. I use a small travel trailer now, but I still heavily rely on these books. Be warned that this book is not for those who can't live without cable tv, wireless internet, full hook-ups, hot showers, and all the other things that make us spoiled.
3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: West Virginia, 2nd: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RV's, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
The tag line on this book is what attracted me and enticed me to purchase it: "A guide for car campers who hate RVs, concrete slabs, and loud portable stereos". The information about campgrounds was pretty accurate and has proven to be a useful resource, but the very first campground I chose from the book was nothing but one big RV campground. Loud stereos, campsites lit up like the fourth of July, and the constant hum of running RV were everywhere. I had to search long and hard to find a site that wasn't paved over and graveled over. Most of the spots were not appropriate for tents... which was a bit frustrating. However, I have found the book to be useful in helping me plan a last-minute getaway on my day off. I don't regret buying it, but I certainly hope I have better luck with other campgrounds.

Not to bad, but a bit outdated on a few campsites.
Ended up driving around and found a nice wv campsite called Bluestone. I would recommened it to anyone interested.
