This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: Wisconsin: A Guide for Campers Who Hate RV's, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
I was just browsing a book store one day, looking for something new, and found this jem. I had been relying on the internet and public radio for my camping information, both good sources to be sure, but this book pretty much gave me the run-down I needed, with all of the necessary maps and directions. I do hate rvs, concrete slabs, and loud portable stereos when I am camping. This book thoroughly rates each campground according to scenic attractions, quiet (close to highways, noise), privacy, spaciousness, upkeep, and security. It lets you know some history about each campground, attractions of each, such as types of trees and fish that can be caught in nearby or on-site rivers and lakes. I really appreciate knowing which campgrounds need reservations and which are first-come first served. And there's some history about each area to boot. What is especially nice about this book is how the author rates individual site numbers within the campgrounds - absolutely necessary information if you're making a reservation at a campground you haven't been to before, and are lloking for something specific, such as privacy. I was looking for a site on a lake shore that required boat (not car) access, and I found it pretty quickly. I was looking for a nice site near waterfalls, and there it was. I was looking for something private and spacious in a specific part of the state, and the book laid it all out for me. I was looking for something on a bluff or hillside that had a commanding view, and wasn't disappointed.

fairly useless book,
This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: Wisconsin: A Guide for Campers Who Hate RV's, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
was looking for some interesting wisconsin campsites (being from minnesota), but this book had mainly county and state parks. nothing new, i could have gotten all this information from 10 minutes on the wisconsin state parks website. most of the campsites he suggest appear to be suited for families looking for a peaceful weekend, some of them are really close to towns. i bought the colorado and ozark national park book of the same series and found them useful, but this book is a waste.

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: Wisconsin: A Guide for Campers Who Hate RV's, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
Johnny Malloy's campground and campsite information was extremely helpful. The criteria used to rate campgrounds helped me select exactly what I was hoping to find.
Reservations are required at so many campgrounds anymore in order to ensure a campsite and choosing one blindly via the internet or via telephone can be dicey. I selected a site based on the book's recommendations and found the information to be completely accurate and the campsite wonderful. This book is valuable aid for anyone unfamiliar with Wisconsin parks.
