Florida Camping is packed full of great directions, reviews, and a 1-10 rating system. It looks condensed, but what you get is factual, to the point, and complete. Whether you are an RV camper or a tent camper, you can find the perfect campground in this book. You’ll need to mark the page or lose it forever, there are so many campgrounds listed! Included in the reviews are local trivia, like “a kid was nearly eaten by an alligator here”, or “this is the only area that rare white squirrels frequent”, to “there’s a fantastic bar-b-q place just down the road”. Thank you!
Rating: 5 / 5
Please be sure to look and ask for the fourth edition of the book, released in fall 2007. The book has been completely updated and revised. Look for the blue cover and the Moon imprint!
All best,

As indicated by other reviewers, the Foghorn series of campground guides is not without flaws. Even so, we know of no directories which do a better job of addressing campground aesthetics than these wonderful guides. In our experience, the look and feel of a campground is often the single greatest factor influencing the quality of a camping experience . . . and the factor totally ignored by nearly all other campground guides.
There are a number of directories which rate facilities, provide directions, tell you how to make reservations and give you an idea of the cost for a night’s stay in a specific campground. This series gives similar basic information and then goes beyond that. The Foghorn guides actually give you a feel of what it is like to stay in a specific campground – a bit of a narrative description and a “scenic beauty rating” for each campground plus information about nearby recreation opportunities. We like that a lot.
Have we found instances where we liked a campground more or less than the book’s author? Of course. Tastes differ and things change over time. Even so, we would rather have an admittedly subjective rating of a campground’s intangibles than to have nothing to go on but a recitation of facts and figures.
Are the Foghorn Outdoors guides the only ones we use? No. But they are ALWAYS the first place we turn when selecting a destination campground.

I got this book back in 2004, same year I took a vacation in Florida to go camping. Incredibly detailed, lots of great information on just about every campground in Florida. Things to watch out for etc. I went to 4 different campgrounds based on reviews I read in this book and they were all great.
This was written awhile back. Looks like there’s a 2007 version. Make sure you get that one or something after that if they’ve written it!
Be careful camping in Florida. Your stuff will get WET and you will get SANDY. It’s not all that fun to be either. Also, all state campgrounds have electricity. BRING A FAN if you’re going in the warm months.

Have browsed a number of books that say they cover this information, but none do it as well as this one. Everything you need is there. A wonderful resourse for anyone camping/RVing in Florida.
