"Washington is the Disneyland of American camping," declares Ron C. Judd in Camping! Washington, a comprehensive, newly revised guide to the Evergreen State's more than 600 Forest Service, national park, and state park campsites. Written by a Washington native and the outdoor columnist for The Seattle Times, this evaluative guide -- the only one of its kind -- helps campers choose where to pitch their tent, park their VW bus, or hook up their RV according to a rating system. Similar to star ratings for hotels, Judd rates Washington's public campgrounds on a scale of one to five "trees." He then gives the lowdown on what facilities are available for RVs, trailers, and tents, with specific information on hookups, restroom facilities, showers, seasonal closures, reservations, directions, and more. This edition contains 30 percent new material including more photographs and descriptions of 15 additional campgrounds. Organized by highways for easy traveling, Camping! Washington features keyed maps for each region, quick reference icons, and special indexes.

This review is from: Camping! Washington: The Complete Guide to Public Campgrounds for RVs and Tents (Paperback)
When you're exploring our great state, this is a really useful guide to find a car-camping oriented spot to pitch your tent. It definitely caters to the RV crowd, in the sense that many readers adventures end once they hook up the RV or pitch their tent. I like to use these spots as the starting point for deeper exploration into the backcountry. Bottom line, keep it in your car, and where ever you find yourself, this handy book will help you find a reasonable place to crash that may have a great view and not be stuffed with huge tribes of families. Of course, if that's what you're looking for, you can find those too.

This book was ordered before Thanksgiving Day. After waiting for 6 weeks, I canceled the order. It might be a great book, prefect for my needs, but does me little good if I can't get a copy.
