This book delivers!

I was most interested in cabins for family trips in Northern California. This book has exactly what I was looking for. We've used its recommendations the last two summers and were very pleased. Tom Stienstra has easy-to-read descriptions of cabins and campsites, along with the important details. My only complaint is that the book is now three years old, and doesn't include websites. I'd like to see a new edition. But I still use the book and recommend it highly.

Great Guide!

I bought this book hoping that it would give me a few suggestions for campsites in Marin County, since I have recently moved here. Within minutes I had found three campsites that I will be enjoying this summer and will easily find thanks to clear and concise directions. Tom Stienstra has an easy writing style to read and gives all the pertinent information to his readers about the sites he discusses. It is obvious that he loves the outdoors and wishes to not only spread this love, but his knowledge of great "easy" camping in Northern California and the beauty within this area that anyone can enjoy.

Terrific book if you want to know where to camp with kids

My daughters turned 6 & 8 this summer and we decided it was time to head out and see some of the great outdoors. I chose this book because I needed 'Easy Camping' given my daughters' ages. I'd also read another book by Tom Stienstra and enjoyed his style of writing.Anyway, we've tried 2 of Tom's recommended excursions and they've both been absolutely amazing (Castle Rock Trail Camp and Pan Toll at Mt. Tamalpais). Although the book is called `Easy Camping' that doesn't mean camping in a parking lot! My challenge was finding places that were a far enough walk that you'd feel like you were "out there" whilst not being too far for young children (my daughters can't hike more than about 3 miles with their backpacks). This book is right on the money in this respect.I don't know about you but I often feel let down when I read guide books full of glowing recommendations only to visit a place and find it ain't that great. This doesn't happen with Tom Stienstra, what he describes is what you get. The book is well laid out with just the right balance of descriptive writing and details for planning a trip. I do recommend you call the sites before you visit however because his info on reservations, pricing, etc. is a little out of date.Owning this book is like having your own personal guide to the best that Northern California has to offer for weekend/overnight camping with young children. Do yourself a favor - get this book and get out this weekend
