This manual is an informative manual as long as you don't live in Florida. As a Boy Scout I camped all over the state of Florida and now as a parent of a daughter I must find camping spots that are public such as State or National Parks, I purchase this book in hopes of finding the best places to go in my state. Unfortunately the information for Florida is severly lacking. The cool feature of telling you exactly which site in the campground is the best site... missing. Now if you live in other states they do seem to tell you where is the best site so the best advice I can give is get this book from the library look at a few sites in yoru state and if the details are there, buy it or if you happen to have lots of money and or time to travel get it anyway.

I have several books on camping; this by far is the most helpful.Detailed information on everything from bugs to how to get there. If you are going to have one book on camping site information I would highly recommend this one.

This is a great book and well worth the money. It's bulky because it's the size of a telephone directory for a large city. It tells you everything you want to know about the parks and rates them.
There is a downside. I noticed that a lot of state parks were missing. In the keys, the best parks were omitted, and some of the ones mentioned have been closed for years. For that reason, I couldn't give it a five start rating.

This is a very large book with tons of campsites listed. However, the list mostly consists of state and national parks. Anyone could find these parks without this book. I recommend that if you are looking for good camp spots look somewhere else as this book is not a very comprehensive list. Crap meant to put it as one star......sorry guys

Haven't had a chance to use it to find any campground yet, but the information is very well organized, easy to navigate.
