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.

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Not to bad, but a bit outdated on a few campsites.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.
