This book does list many campgrounds, but it fails to give any kind of a rating or opinion. If you’re trying to decide on where the best place to camp is, it isn’t helpful at all. All you get is a list a amenities and the location. No pictures, but it does include a few maps.
Rating: 3 / 5
Guess I should have read the title better. Book was written to follow their destinations. If you have your own itinerary book was hard to use, if not impossible. It listed campground location in longitude and latitude, good if your using a GPS. Not so good if you weren’t. It did not have a complete list of campgrounds for the areas.
Just wasn’t what I needed.

Excellent reference guide for RV travelers and snowbirds. We just spent six weeks traveling throughout Arizona and New Mexico with additional brief trips to Las Vegas and Lake Havasu City. This book became our first choice for campgound selection and tourist destination ideas. The section on snowbird parks is the best. This is truly a comprehensive and easy to use guidebook.

This book has been very helpful in planning our upcoming trip. Helped make decisions and find alternatives.

This book is intended to be a travel and adventure guide and succeeds extraordinarily well. Don’t expect it to replace the Woodall’s or Trailer Life catalogs and their rating systems. You want this book to help you plan RV vacations or weekends filled with adventure, historic way points and scenic sites. Additionally, it includes extensive listings of parks for snowbirds who spend more time in the southwest.
