A unique feature of this small book is its tight list of Army Corps of Engineer Campsites that are not found in many other directories or guidebooks.This guide will tell you if the campsite is located near a big city like Atlanta or in a rural area. Organized by state, maps of your destination area are a helpful adjunct. As the name implies, most facilities are located near a body of water. Some tend to be more family oriented, others are described as hideaways--peaceful locations where you can commune with nature. The book provides good directions from major highways and clear information about the campsites. (Most list amenities, such as electric, water and dump stations.) This is a useful tool to have with you on any trip. Coming upon one of these sites can be a wonderful diversion. D. Brandley

As a retired Corps of Engineer officer and a new RVer, I found this book interesting and helpful in planning for trips.
We have not camped at one of the Corps sites yet, but have visited a couple recently and found the book to accurately describe the ones we have visited.

This book is a "must have" for RVers and campers. I can't think of any other source that has all this information in one place, and easy to find.

Here's a book that would have made a great spreadsheet. There's a lot of data here, displayed via a string of pictographs. Text in this book serves to provide directions only.
I would have rated this higher if it provided a little background on the location, the history, geographic features, etc.

This book is the best book on the subject... period! It lists EVERY campground in the USA that offers camping for 50% off. And, that is NOT upped prices....you actually get 50% off the posted prices so you can see you actually get 50% off. It has maps, contact information, and lists in detail all about each campground. It ranges from the primitive (like nothing except an area to sleep or whatever) to the full-service ones.
I highly recommend this book. There's NOTHING like it.
