2.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, June 24, 2002

This review is from: Camping Washington (Paperback)

There are at least four books on camping in Washington state, and I'd suggest to potential customers that this is not the best. So if you are only going to buy one, don't make it this one.
Generally, there are too many errors in fact in this book. It is as if the writer spent more time reading other camping books, then wrote the book without visiting all of the places in the guide.
Before buying this book, glance at the other books on camping in Washington. You'll see why this isn't the best buy.

This review is from: Camping Washington (Paperback)

I don't think the writer actually visited many of the places because there was little guidance about pros and cons of the different campgrounds. Some kind of rating scale would have been nice.
