Summary: Pacific Northwest Camping
Comment: This book will be a great help to our summer camping plans, We looked at campground we have visited and the facts are very good
Customer Rating:
Summary: Inconsistent and not enough information
Comment: This book is not for tent users even though it pretends to be. The focus is mostly on RV's and fishing.
Also, it is frustrating how inconsistent the information is...for example on some campgrounds he mentions how much shade is available but on others he does not. So what am I to assume about the ones that he doesn't mention the shade at all? Also, with some he comments that there are mountain views but others he doesn't. How can the reader know if there are no mountain views or if he just didn't care to mention it that time or didn't have the space to do so in the book? I feel that editing for space has ruined this book.
Don't trust this book! He gives "Rogue Elk Campground" a score of 8 out of 10 for the scenic rating and he doesn't mention it's proximity to a medium traffic highway. We drove all the way there to find that it is basically on the side of the highway. The highway dropped the scenic rating down to a 2. The highway gives Rogue Elk Campground a ton of light and sound pollution and makes it feel unsafe. Stienstra didn't mention any of this.
Untrustworthy, inconsistent book!
The maps and lay out of the book are nice and user friendly though.

Summary: A must have book by a quality writer
Comment: My husband enjoy going on camping adventures, and we use all of Tom Stienstra's camping books like bibles. I have noted only one mistake on his California book, but on the whole they are useful and informative.
We plan a trip up the California coast to Oregon, then to Washington.
We plan to tent camp all the way using his books. We did it before a few years ago and it worked out great. I strongly recommend this book or any of his books to anyone who wants to have fun, cheap, exciting adventures camping!

Summary: the book to have
Comment: If you camp this is the book to have, espcially if you tent camp and want to find all the small campgrounds. I love finding all the tent campgrounds, this is the definite book for the NW.
five stars is not enough for the work that went into thsi book.
