5.0 out of 5 stars
all-in-one book for camping in Florida,
By bookloverFLA (south of Sarasota FL) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Moon Florida Camping: The Complete Guide to Tent and RV Camping (Moon Outdoors) (Paperback)
I own the Florida State Park book and it's great but I needed a book that listed all the campgrounds available near cities we are visiting. This book covers ALL the campgrounds not just state cg's with "scenic" ratings which I find useful.
Well organized and very useful. Addendum: I love this book the more I use it. I also refer to an unaffiliated website rvparkreviews.com. The website lists a few more parks than the book with actual user reviews (like amazon :-))

This review is from: Moon Florida Camping: The Complete Guide to Tent and RV Camping (Moon Outdoors) (Paperback)
I'd give this book 6 stars if I could. It really does contain information about every campsite in Florida. Even if you're not an RVer and are only looking for primitive backcountry tent camping, this book has campsites that you'd have to scour the web and printed publications to find out about. I've lived in Florida for 40 years, and every obscure site I could think of was covered in this book. For example, it has nearly all of the Florida Trail campsites. It even has a section for the ENP 10K islands backcountry camps, complete with a description and rating of each - along with a map.
Considering the amount of campsites covered, the detail provided on each is unbelievable as well. For most sites the author goes as far as detailing the road conditions, the site layout and substrate (sand, gravel, grass), the sun exposure, and even warns of the scumbag factor for those few seedy parks. All of the usual information is shown as well - the park's electric service, water, wastewater, etc. This book is a thoroughly researched, excellently-written reference. If this book had cost $25 I'd still feel like it was a steal.

This review is from: Moon Florida Camping: The Complete Guide to Tent and RV Camping (Moon Outdoors) (Paperback)
This is an excellant guide if you are a tent camper. Most commercial guides focus on RV campgrounds but this guide gives good coverage to the places those of us using tents would like. It is not as detailed as Johnny Molloy's 'The Best in Tent Camping' but covers many more campgrounds. It is an excellant addition to my camping references.
