While that does have some utility (hence the two stars instead of one), he does very little more than that; thus, the book offers little in the way of orginality or direction.The book's title suggests that he's going to pare down all of Maryland's camping options into, gee, "the best" ones. But there are 50 listed in the book (ok, conveniently by region) and he doesn't go much further to opinionate (it's OK to have an opinion!) what the best choices are. For example, which would be, say, the top five for families with young children? For avid hikers? For sheer beauty, scenery, history, or isolation? While he uses a "star-rating" system that covers five sub-categories, it ends up being useless because he awards most of the camping sites either four or five stars in each category, thereby providing little meaningful distinction among them all. Also, does five stars really mean "can't miss" or is that just a level relative to Maryland?He sometimes recommends a few campgrounds within each site, which is certainly on the right track to helping us out, but offers few concrete details and suggestions on anything else; for example, food options, maps, photos, itineraries, etc.All in all, a wasted opportunity to cut through the chaffe to write a book that tent campers could really use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, specific information *by ¤***¤ on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2008* I must say I respectfully disagree with the previous reviewer's comment that the information here is all available on the Internet and isn't specific enough to be really helpful. If you actually read the couple of pages devoted to each campground, you'll find details that definitely are NOT covered on the DNR Website or in any other readily available source.On every camping trip, I take notes and annotate my map in preparation for our next trip. But each trip, I like to try a new place, so my notes don't always help! The info in this book is exactly the kind of information I would like to have before I go: what amenities are there, best loops, advantages and disadvantages of each area, and--most useful--the exact site numbers of sites that are especially good or especially avoidable (and why). I've found a number of very precise tidbits that have, IMO, been worth the purchase price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book but needs to be updated *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2013* This book is a great resource since no one wants to reserve a site without some info first! The descriptions of the campgrounds are spot on and I feel very confident visiting new spots based on the recommendations in this book.The problem with it ( and I'm writing the same review for the Pennsylvania one as well) is that the campgrounds have changed. In one case the site numbers are different and in another several sites have been removed all together.I would advise double checking on the websites for the campgrounds themselves in addition to reading the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10151795-the-best-in-tent-camping-maryland-a-guide-for-car](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10151795-the-best-in-tent-camping-maryland-a-guide-for-car) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
