Editorial Reviews

Review

"A fascinating book bursting with clear descriptions of camping communities....You can’t get much better than Camping Wyoming." -- THE BOOK READER:AMERICA’S MOST INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS Spring/Summer 2000

"McClure's Camping Wyoming is a wonderful resource for Wyoming Visitors and residents. Camping Wyoming is maybe the most comprehensive and friendly guide of its kind ever undertaken on the Cowboy State. Maybe best of all, McClure includes detailed directions and maps on how to find hundreds of "on the way, by the way and out of the way" camping places in Wyoming." -- Wyoming Wildlife, June 1999

"While most camping guides focus only on the most popular sites, McClure’s guidebook details...areas throughout the state." -- Pinedale Roundup FOCUS

This review is from: Camping Wyoming (Paperback)

I was searching for a book that would tell me the information that would be most useful in searching for just the right camp site... This book has it... very informative and easy to understand without a lot of useless drivel... I wish it were available for Idaho!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, June 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Camping Wyoming (Paperback)

The book was little more than a list. The hand drawn maps were amaturish in this day and age. It was lacking in information. Maybe I was spoiled by the "100 Best And All The Rest" book I had just purchased on Colorado campgrounds. Camping Wyoming was a waste of money.

This review is from: Camping Wyoming (Paperback)

I was pleased to find not just one but two copies of this little book about Wyoming camping venues.
Originally, I bought one in a second hand store as a gift for our daughter and her husband who had just moved to Wyoming. The cover has a painting of 'Aspen Alley' which is near where we live. While leafing through the book I decided we should have one, also. A short time later we were in Lander, near where this was published, and discovered the author had passed away a few years ago and there were no copies to be found. We were told that he was an accomplished photographer and no doubt had stayed at many if not all campsites he wrote of.
When I searched for it on Amazon I found three copies, all new, and bought the two which were reasonably priced.
Now our son and his wife have a copy also.
