Book Description

Series: Coleman National Forest Campground and Recreation Directory | Publication Date: August 1, 2003

Finally, in one easy-to-use volume, a comprehensive directory of National Forest Campgrounds. Approximately 20 million individuals visit our National Forests each year, taking advantage of the more than 4,000 campgrounds. With this easy to use guide--organized by state and then by National Forest--descriptive text, photographs, maps, and icons will help readers to locate, evaluate, and reserve the site best suited to their needs. Campgrounds are divided into three categories: Full (with showers, full RV hookups, etc), Standard (semi-developed, running water available), and Rustic (no paved road, pit toilets). Campground descriptions will be supplemented by directions, fees, available services, number of sites, etc. The directory also features informative maps as well as local information and history.

From the Back Cover

There are over 4,300 National Forest campgrounds across the United States - tucked in remote canyons, among dense forests, alongside lakes and steams or on mountaintops. While some are popular and well-known, many are obscure gems, seldom visited. This directory will help you find National Forest campgrounds that best fit your needs. A photo, map and description accompanies campground information from every national forest.

Anybody who wants to camp or who does camp has to visit national forest campgrounds. They are the best spots in the most scenic locations, with great things to do, on lakes, on ocean fronts, near cool towns... This is the only resource that has every national forest campground in it and the second edition has a lot of updates it looks like. A must buy for any camper or road trip traveller.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would have liked better maps and descriptions, April 10, 2004

This review is from: Coleman National Forest Campground and Recreation Directory, 2nd: The Only Complete Guide to All 4,300+ National Forest Campgrounds (Paperback)

Great guide but to help find the locations make sure you take a detailed map like Delorme or Coleman Atlas for specific forest roads and locations. The maps in this are VERY general. I liked the fact that camp altitudes are included. This can make a differance if snow or heat is expected and a major factor when I chose.

Book is very informative. We have a big rig and cannot go to all campgrounds because of the size. This book is a great tool for us. We know what to expect before we get there!!
