Very Detailed; Excellent Layout

Before visiting New York to camp, hike, fish, boat, bike, or enjoy wildlife in one of their many state parks, pick up a copy of Bill Bailey's very detailed New York State Parks.I am a very avid camper and hiker, and I travel all about New England, New York, PA, and VA to camp. Before doing this howerever, I always consult Bailey's book (if he has one for that state) to find the park with the shadiest and most private campsite and the steepest trails. His detail about the individual campsites are very valuable to me. He also includes detailed descriptions about the park trails, but he does a better job about that in most of his other books. I also find his maps and the charts at the end of each region very helpful.The only real downfalls in my opinion is that his photographs arent very good, and he dosent go into detail about every park in the NYS park system, but oh well. The information he provides I find to be very valuable. Buy this book; I guarntee you'll find a park that suits you!

I was pleased with content and layout.

New York State Parks does a great job of providing detailed information about individual campsites in various regions of NYS. I especially liked the detailed description of facilities and attractions nad their proximity to the campsite.The description of individual cabins and here settings were of particular interest to me. As a new camper, I found this book very user friendly.
