Where Should We Camp Next?

This was a gift I purchased for my “Campin’ Lovin’ Little Sister” for her Birthday. She and her husband are enjoying Retirement and visiting fun places throughout our Beautiful Country. I think it’s a great book and I’m sure she’s going to love it!!

As avid campers during the summer and fall, this book opened up all sorts of possibilities for future trips for our family. With multiple options in each state, this expansive wealth of knowledge is helpful and should accompany every camper on their travels.

Could be more detailed.

This guide is so helpful. It has a lot of cool places to stay and clear information. It makes planning a camping trip much easier and more fun.

This book would be most useful for families with young children. For example: 18 distinct Yogi Bear Campgrounds are listed in this guide with some states boasting more than one. (Who knew?) Many KOA campgrounds are also listed. (I hope the authors received renumeration for KOA product placement.) When listing the reasons for campgrounds being selected as exceptional, playgrounds and swimming pools were often mentioned. Organization of information in this guide is by region (although as a retired educator, this was the first time I have seen Oklahoma listed in the Southern Region). Within each region, states are listed alphabetically. Each state generally lists several “Best in State” and then several “Also Great”. Example: Three campsites are listed in NC’s “Best in State”including: Mama Gertie’s Hideaway Campground (20 minutes from Asheville), Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Daddy Joe’s (driving distance to NC /SC beaches), and Cape Hatteras/Outer Banks KOA Resort. Three are listed as “Also Great”: Smokemont Campground in Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Cherokee/Great Smokies KOA Holiday, and Davidson River Campground. So in one of the east coast’s greatest camping states, 2 of 6 listed sites are KOA camps and Great Smoky National Park is an “Also Great” listing behind Yogi Bear. Finally, useful information that is left to the reader to google includes: address, phone number, pricing, toilet/shower/water, and hook-ups.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter's boyfriend who is a huge camper and he absolutely loved it! He looked through the book front to back and loved every minute of it. Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves camping and who wants to travel. I took a look at the book myself and found it filled with a lot of information. And totally worth the buy.

If you love to camp, you just get it. The Puglisis are the perfect ambassadors to represent everything camping. Whether you’re a newbie or seasoned camper, they have valuable advice and insight to offer you. And while they have a wealth of knowledge to share, they do so humbly. They acknowledge that your favorite campground might not be in this book. And that’s ok! No matter who you are, where you come from, or where you camp, all are welcome at The RV Atlas table. What I love about this book: *A comprehensive introduction to campsite types, prices, booking procedures, and review sources that will help you book any campsite, not just the ones in this book. *The layout. You can easily look for campgrounds by region, state, or using the “campground personality” badge system. It’s very organized and easy to find what you’re looking for. *Each state is represented, and local attractions are included in addition to campgrounds. I’ll be referring to this book for years to come I am sure, and have already ordered more for gifts.

My husband and I enjoy camping and as we branch out to other places this book gave us alot of good ideas for places to go
