4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but the rating system is poor.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorado Camping: The Complete Guide to More Than 30,000 Campsites for Tenters, Rvers, and Car Campers (Moon Colorado Camping) (Paperback)
We were excited to purchase this book with the scenic rating system. What we didn't realize (and are perhaps still unclear on) was that the rating on the beauty of a campsite was based on the other campsites in the general area. For instance, Eleven Mile was rated a "9" and we consider it a "4" at best. What a disappointment. No trees, no shade, parched (except for the reservoir), no privacy. Yuck! But, then again, maybe it was the prettiest in the area. Aspen Glen was another disappointment although not as significant. It is rated a "9" also, but much prettier although it is right on a major road and not much privacy. Some pretty trees, but hardly a "9" but a whole lot closer to a "9" in our eyes than Elevenmile was. Don't get lured in by her idea of beauty. But, I will say this.....the information in the book is accurate and that means a lot. The directions can't be beat. Maybe when a very high or a very low score is given....a bit more of a description about why might prove beneficial.

The best camping guide I have found for Colorado.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorado Camping: The Complete Guide to More Than 30,000 Campsites for Tenters, Rvers, and Car Campers (Moon Colorado Camping) (Paperback)
I used this book on my honeymoon, while camping all over Colorado. Since then I've bought three as gifts for friends. I liked the detailed descriptions of the campsites and found them to be accurate and complete.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Incomplete listing, poor rating system,
By A Customer
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors: Colorado Camping (Paperback)
Another reviewer commented on the poor rating system which was based on scenic beauty- we agree: we found some sites she rated highly as totally undistiguished, while others that were just OK by her had wonderful mountains, lakes, views, etc.Our biggest complaint was that it is not complete. Two wonderful campgrounds that we found, Town Park at Telluride and Red Rocks (maybe it was Red Canyon) north of Canyon City were not even mentioned in her book. The Telluride campground was fabulous- if we had relied on this book alone we would have missed the highlight of our vacation.
