Guide Review - National Park Service Camping Guide
As the press release for the National Park Service Camping Guide states, "If you want to now where to camp in National Park Service areas, you'll want this book." I found this book very easy to use to find NPS campgrounds in any state. Just a quick thumb-thru, and all the information detailing campground amenities and nearby park activities are described. Brief, yet very comprehensive. This is a "must have" for anyone wanting to camp in the National Parks.
