This review is from: Lakeside Recreation (Corps of Engineers) (Paperback)

If you enjoy camping or boating, this will be one of the most useful books you can own. This is a book about the camping areas available in the U.S. Corp. of Engineers Parks. It is arranged by state and has a statewide map showing the location of lakes for each state. For each lake it then lists campgrounds with amenities available and also gives phone numbers for contacting personnel. For those who are 62 and over and hold a Golden Age passport, camping is half price in these parks. Unfortunately, this book covers only the western states. I am now in search of volume 2 and hope that it is available.
