5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Milepost., April 1, 2000

By	Gail Borad (Texas) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be more informative than the Milepost, as it is better organized and shows campgrounds and facilities that are of interest to those people who are planning to camp with RV or tent.

The book shows all campgrounds in each section of road traveled and also describes activities that are available in the area. It is informative and clearly written with excellent directions for locating attractions. Though I have not been to Alaska yet, I did show this book to fellow travelers who have used the Milepost and it was met with enthusiastic response.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Camping Alaska, August 1, 2005

By	G. Corderman (Norhtern California Mountains) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Traveler's Guide to Alaskan Camping: Explore Alaska and the Yukon with RV or Tent (Traveler's Guide series) (Paperback)

If I had bought this book first, I could have saved money on three others. Outstanding-- the only book you need to camp Alaska.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Essential!, October 20, 2006

By	Richard Babione (Livingston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Traveler's Guide to Alaskan Camping: Explore Alaska and the Yukon with RV or Tent (Traveler's Guide series) (Paperback)

We recently completed a four-month motorhome trip to Alaska. We had several books with us, but the most consistent good information came from this book. The campground descriptions were right on. In addition to camping, when we had to decide whether to see one attraction vs another, the book's advice was invaluable. Don't leave home without it!
