thsi book was helpful in locating some of the out of the way campgrounds of CO. But a lot of the information was out of date...some of the camps weren't even there anymore. But it did show several great spots that werent on the state map or in the atlas that we had... not bad over all. we will probably upgrade for our next trip.

As a native to Colorado for only two years now this booked helped with a few places I have heard of, but didn't know exact details for. I plan to do a lot of camping in Colorado this summer and can't wait to bring this book along for the adventure!
