The Pacific Northwest is a campers paradise. It offers everything that a vacation camper could desire: seashores, snow-capped mountains, old growth forests, visitor friendly cities, and national parks. In fact, the Pacific Northwest is one of the most popular RVing and tent camping destinations in North America. Pacific Northwest Camping Destinations is a travel guide for camping travelers, those traveling in an RV and those camping with a tent. It addresses the needs of the thousands of visitors to the Pacific Northwest who arrive in an RV or who vacation travel in their family car, spending the night inexpensively in campgrounds. It's also a great book for those residents of the Pacific Northwest who are looking for new places to visit on weekend trips and during summer vacations. The largest part of the book describes over 130 great camping destinations throughout Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. There are descriptions of the local attractions and visitor activities. A selection of good camping areas convenient to the destination area are described in detail. Whenever possible the book offers a choice of commercial or government campgrounds. A map for each destination shows the location of campgrounds and attractions. In addition to the destination section, the book also lays out exciting and interesting one-week itineraries from the Northwest gateway cities of Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. Maps and written descriptions guide you along these scenic easy to negotiate tours. So come and join us for a camping visit to the Pacific Northwest. Come for a week or spent the entire summer, the choice is yours.
I like how this couple presents their information. The book is full of useful data. I have purchased this in preparation for our journey to Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories. It does a superb job of helping you understand what to look for, where to look for it, how much things cost relative to other areas. Excellent job.
Oregon insider gives two thumbs up.

Having lived in the Pacific NW for many years I know lots of places for camping and RVing. I found this book accurate and very resourcefull. With rising fuel prices, we are all looking for closer to home places to "get away" and this book is a required resource to help find them, and determine their suitability. The only criticism I have is the way its organized. A little hard to find individual places since it is organized based on tour routes.
wonderful
