It provides its buyers with an opportunity to save significantly on their travel costs when current overnight camping fees are typically $25 to $50 per night. The Western Edition now contains an enormous number of county and city parks with free or low-cost overnight camping as well as campgrounds of the national forests, national parks, bureau of land management, bureau of reclamation, Army Corps of Engineers and most state park systems. |

A Good Choice |
We have had Don Wrights Guides to Campgrounds before, this being the newest edition. The Western edition covers all the areas that we are currently interested in with many many listings and choices for people that like to Boondock. A great resource!
The only reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is that it is a little hard to read the numbers on the maps and then relate them to "state" or "county" roads. The maps of each state only show the main roads, not the links from those main roads to the camping areas. You have to refer to an addition map to get more of the location of camping areas. |

Guide To Free Campgrounds-West 13h Edition: Includes Campgrounds $12 And Under In The 17 Western States |
|
This guide provided me with valuable info from the first use. The campground detail is quite thin, but it gives me a great starting place to locate potential inexpensive camping spots. From there it is usually easy to get more detail using other resources. To be clear, this book is not a good single source but a valuable component and the data is well organized. |

Off the Beaten Path |
|
We never travel without one of these editions.....not only because we find low priced campgrounds, but because we find quiet "out-of-the-way" campgrounds. |

great resource for RVers |
|
This book is full of information to make RVing more convenient and hopefully a little less expensive. |

Another "two thumbs up" for campers and rv'rs |
See also my review on NW rv destinations. I know the NW pretty well but am always looking for better and cheaper ways to travel around, hide out, and explore. For ecomony camping and rv'ing this is the book. A little cheaply done (newsprint type paper) this 440 pp reference guide is full of all the little hidey holes and cheaper places to hang out. Much more fine detail for this geographical area than say Trailer Life's RV Directory. Has complete information and prices on all the out of the way and mainline economical places to stay. Does not include commercial places like Wal-Mart, Cracker Barrel, etc. Very broad coverage (Entire Western US). While on you way to a destination park you can explore these out of the way and local money savers. Such camps usually don't have full hooks ups, but for ~ $12 or less who cares, you can boondock for a a night can't you -- maybe even a whole weekend!
Please clean up after your pets and keep them controlled. An increasing number of camps are not allowing pets due to owners' abuse of this privilege. Its not the dog's fault. Our Miniature Schauzer loves to RV and we love taking him, but are often dismayed by the number of parks that will not allow pets anymore. |
