1.0 out of 5 stars Hardly the last word on Camping in New Mexico, July 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Camping New Mexico (Paperback)

Due to the paucity of detailed New Mexico camping guides, this book became a part of our library. After two awful, even frightening experiences at campgrounds, we have considered tracking down the author to register a complaint. We doubt that she has actually visited these campgrounds herself or the decriptions would be at least more accurate. And possibly some sites would be completely eliminated. It is unfortuante that there are not more publications to choose from on this topic. If there were, I am positive that this one would go quickly out of print.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for RV campers, inadequate for backpackers, June 22, 2001

By A Customer

This is a decently detailed book for New Mexico campers, but not as detailed as I would have liked it to be. There's not nearly enough information in here for backpackers, or for tent-camping. There are a few sites around NM that I know about that are great for tent-camping which aren't even mentioned here. But if you're a recreational camper, looking to find a spot that everybody else knows about and takes their poodle to, then this book ought to help.

This review is from: Camping New Mexico (Paperback)

Since New Mexico Campgrounds by Christina Frain ( a truly GREAT) guide is out of print , this was the best we could find locally. It is minimal in its usefulness - occasionally a bit inaccurate . A pathetic version of a "guide" book.
