Excellent review of campgrounds on public lands (Forest Service, BLM, National Parks, and State Parks..) in New Mexico. I've visited many of these sites and her information is very accurate. This book is a must for those interested in camping in New Mexico.

5.0 out of 5 stars The MUST HAVE Campground Guide for New Mexico!!, March 8, 2007

By

This review is from: New Mexico Campgrounds: The Statewide Guide (Paperback)

New Mexico has long been one of our favorite camping/RVing destinations. We consider "New Mexico Campgrounds: The Statewide Guide" to be the "MUST HAVE" reference to the state's wonderfully varied non-commercial campgrounds (Corps of Engineers, BLM, Forest Service, State and National Parks, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, and various Indian reservations).

"New Mexico Campgrounds" divides the state into 12 regions and provides detailed information on 175 campgrounds. For most of these campgrounds, you will find a color photo (there are 216 photos in the book). The book also provides a list rating each campground on scenery, desirability as a destination for RVers and for tenters, shade, privacy, facilities, campground activities, area activities and wheelchair accessibility. (The ratings are on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.) A convenient summary at each listing gives the campground's general location, elevation, number of sites, recommended RV length, season, nearest supply center, access road information, map references, and directions. Additionally, each listing includes a narrative description, a note as to whether or not the campground accepts reservations and phone numbers.

Admittedly, this is not the campground guide for the RVer seeking the sorts of facilities available only in commercial campgrounds. If swimming pools and full hookups are at the top of your list of campground priorities, you will be better served by other guide books. For the rest of us, this one is a MUST HAVE reference!
