Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: Northern California, 2nd: A Guide for Campers Who Hate RVs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos (Paperback)
There are many, many campgrounds in California, and we spent several years selecting the targets of our camping trips based on friends' recommendations, or CA State or National Parks descriptions. Unfortunately, our criteria were not often what people were recommending a campsite for, and there are so many parks in CA that a comparative selection based on raw data is overwhelming. What we wanted was: 1. beauty 2. quiet and serenity 3. less popular sites (to stay away from the crowds) 4. car-camping or near car-camping (we have a toddler). Bill Mai's guide enabled up to make some quick selections based on his descriptions and ratings. His campsites are a highly rated selection already (his criteria are pretty close to ours), the information is fairly good, he gives good input on the best season to go, and his descriptions are very accurate. We ended up going to several campsites he recommended last year and never were disappointed. This year we have plans for several others based on his input. It is simply an easy way to choose good places to go without having to worry that the site will be less than what our expectations are for it.
