A unique feature of this small book is its tight list of Army Corps of Engineer Campsites that are not found in many other directories or guidebooks.This guide will tell you if the campsite is located near a big city like Atlanta or in a rural area. Organized by state, maps of your destination area are a helpful adjunct. As the name implies, most facilities are located near a body of water. Some tend to be more family oriented, others are described as hideaways--peaceful locations where you can commune with nature. The book provides good directions from major highways and clear information about the campsites. (Most list amenities, such as electric, water and dump stations.) This is a useful tool to have with you on any trip. Coming upon one of these sites can be a wonderful diversion. D. Brandley

This book is a "must have" for RVers and campers. I can't think of any other source that has all this information in one place, and easy to find.

Here's a book that would have made a great spreadsheet. There's a lot of data here, displayed via a string of pictographs. Text in this book serves to provide directions only.

I would have rated this higher if it provided a little background on the location, the history, geographic features, etc.

As a retired Corps of Engineer officer and a new RVer, I found this book interesting and helpful in planning for trips.

We have not camped at one of the Corps sites yet, but have visited a couple recently and found the book to accurately describe the ones we have visited.

This camping book is formatted similar to another one we use a lot. That is a plus. However, most of the sites it describes--at least in California--are lakes, and we haven't made those a priority. So, actually, we haven't used this book much yet, but we don't rule out future use of it either. The print font is sufficiently large for easy reading; the symbols are easy to decipher. Overall, a good reference book.

Bought this book with a recommendation from someone who was camping. It's a good book but not thorough enough. The Corps have camping books for areas and you really need them too. I wish this book was more detailed like Woodalls, but it's not. I still use this book and have camped at their sites which are quite nice.

This one has saved me a good deal of money, camping at the places in it is fun, inexpensive and always clean. Book was in new condiation.

I was surprised with the price compared to the quality of the book.I paid 26.00 for a used book that originally sold for $15.95. It was in just o.k. condition.

It was in good shape when it arrived and it looks like it will be very helpful as we tour America this coming camping season.
