1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book if you are looking for camping info, August 2, 2004

This review is from: Canoe Camping Vermont & New Hampshire Rivers: A Guide to 600 Miles of Rivers for a Day, Weekend, or Week of Canoeing (Backcountry Guides) (Paperback)

This book's title is misleading, and provides next to no info about camping. Its information about water conditions and white water classifications is pathetic (and unsafe) as well. More information is available about the rivers the author chose to include in the DeLorme Vermont Gazeteer and Atlas. I wish I didn't order this book, it will become camping toilet paper or an emergency fire starter.

I liked this book and used it for some paddling & camping in NH. It gave nice descriptions of the water conditions and paddling descriptions. I agree that it's not a 'how to' book on camping. It's a reference for people who know camping already and are looking for rivers to paddle & camp along.
