4.0 out of 5 stars Book as good as ever, CD needs much improvement, January 2, 2007

This review is from: Woodall's North American Campground Directory with CD, 2007 (Woodall's Campground Directory: North American Ed. (W/CD)) (Paperback)

As a nearly full-time RVer for several years, I have found Woodalls to be one of just two very reliable and comprehensive directories. The book is as good as ever, however, Woodalls missed the boat with the CD. The CD is less intuitive for the user than it should be. Also it is difficult to navigate from one capability to another.

Woodalls main competitor (Trailer Life Directory) has a CD with much more capability, for example, easily finding RV parks in nearby communities to the initial candidate. I am an experienced computer user, however, I gave up on the CD product after less than a half hour. A more successful product would have a user truly hooked in less time that that.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should be re-named RV campground directory, April 10, 2007

tent camper (San Diego CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Woodall's North American Campground Directory, 2007 (Woodall's Campground Directory: North American Ed.) (Paperback)

This is probably a great book for those with RV's. For tent campers it definitely lacks (unless you want to camp next to a RV and listen to a generator running all day). I'm not sure how they selected the campgrounds, but they sure left a bunch of them out, especially state or federally run campgrounds. As an example, I was looking for information on 2 campgrounds in Wells Nevada (Angel Lake and Angel Creek), but the book had neither of them. Though it did have an Angel Lake RV park, which is not the same as the campground. So, for tent campers, I'd recommend finding a different book. For RV campers, go for it! In all fairness, most the RV sites seem to allow tent camping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Nice Directory with Handy CD...., March 11, 2007

This review is from: Woodall's North American Campground Directory with CD, 2007 (Woodall's Campground Directory: North American Ed. (W/CD)) (Paperback)

We replaced an older 1997 version with this new Woodall's directory as we plan an RV trip to Yellowstone and adjoing states this summer. Remembered how handy the older one was during our other excursions and obviously wanted the newer/updated version.

Have found the included CD to be a compliment to this directory. Loaded it into our PC and work strictly off of the CD to plan our summer excursion. If RV campsites have websites, you can just click on the link and they come up. Pretty nifty and much easier than looking them up in the directory... much faster. If you have a laptop, I can see how nice and handy it would be on the road.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I can't find any information on "reservations accepted or not" at any of the various RV campsites we are looking at. This would be a real plus and great addition to the directory, otherwise you will need to call each one individually.
