Product Description

Seashores, snow-capped mountains, old-growth forests, and visitor-friendly cities have made the Pacific Northwest one of the most popular RV and tent-camping destinations in North America, and this guide directs the way to more than 130 camping destinations throughout Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Combining the functions of a camp directory and a sightseeing guide, each of the expanded number of entries describes a vacation spot and its attractions and recommends good camping in the area, including both privately owned and state and county campgrounds. Updated, detailed maps of each destination show the location of campgrounds and tourist sites, as well as exact routes for drivers of large RVs. Several one-week itineraries from the gateway cities of Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver provide alternate driving adventures on scenic routes throughout the region.

5.0 out of 5 stars As a northwest "native" this book is the best !, May 27, 2008

By	Milton Traveler (Milton, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I have traveled extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest and much of the U.S. This year travel will be limited to the Pacific Northwest. As a "native" Washingtonian and lifelong camper I've been looking for a new guidebook that combines travel info with the latest on campgrounds. There are new parks and new travel ideas - enough to generate enthusiasm and travel plans! Each listing has large icon keys that make it easy to find suitable camping spots, ie 50 amps, big rigs, activities and more. The book covers Washington, Oregon and British Columbia with everything from weekend to multi-week trip planning possibilities. Thank you to the authors for a great guidebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, July 25, 2008

By	Motor Home Driver "Bill" (Emery, SD) - See all my reviews

We live near Tacoma and have a motorhome that doesn't fit in many of the state and federal campgrounds in the Northwest. This newest Church book is very good at helping to find the right places for our rig. In a month, using their advice, we found three wonderful RV campgrounds that we didn't know about. One is next to a first class trout river and another is at an entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. Maybe the best part is that this book is helping us re-discover where we can go without using a lot of fuel! This is a great book for those that have never been to the Northwest as well as those that live there. Buy it! You'll like it!
