This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors West Coast RV Camping: More Than 1,800 RV Parks and Campgrounds in California, Oregon, and Washington (Paperback)

Being new to RVing, I wanted to explore all the books that would show where there was camping and parks while on the road. After buying and looking thru 4 other books, I came to the conclusion that my money was wasted on the others, and that I wished I had just bought this book. Fantastic setup, easy to read, very clear and informative for even a newby like me. I cannot say enough good about this book, I love it, it will always be in my RV!

5.0 out of 5 stars I shouldn't have bought Woodalls RV campground guide; Foghorn is all you need, October 3, 2005

This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors West Coast RV Camping: More Than 1,800 RV Parks and Campgrounds in California, Oregon, and Washington (Paperback)

I purchased both a Woodalls RV guide and Foghorn and compared them both this past Aug and Sept 2005 while RVing in WA, OR, NV and CA. I stopped using Woodalls after the first few nights -- there is no comparison between the two. The driving directions in Foghorn are far superior to Woodalls and the campground descriptions are more factual as I believe that Woodalls give an edge to those RV sites that advertise in their guidebook (just my gut feeling) whereas Foghorn does not accept any ads in their guidebook.
