Product Description
Natives and newcomers can agree on one thing: Colorado is a superlative state. It has more Fourteeners than any other state, more microbreweries per capita than any other state, the highest suspension bridge in the world, the world’s largest natural hot springs pool, the tallest sand dunes in the United States, and the largest city park system in the country. If you are looking for the perfect place to camp in Colorado, your trip starts with Moon Colorado Camping. It's the ideal resource for finding campsites—from secluded alpine hike-in spots to convenient roadside stopovers—throughout the entire state.
Join expert author Sarah Ryan as she brings you: descriptions of camping options, ranging from state park campgrounds to RV parks; complete contact information and summaries of each campground's scenic features, facilities, and nearby recreation opportunities; expert tips on gear, safety, and first aid, weather, low-impact camping, and camping with kids; easy-to-use regional maps, driving directions to each campground, and details on fees, reservation services, and helpful websites.

Our Favorite Series of Campground Guides November 1, 2006

As indicated by other reviewers, the Moon Outdoors (previously Foghorn Outdoors) series of campground guides is not without flaws. Even so, we know of no directories which do a better job of addressing campground aesthetics than these wonderful guides. In our experience, the look and feel of a campground is often the single greatest factor influencing the quality of a camping experience . . . and the factor totally ignored by nearly all other campground guides.
There are a number of directories which rate facilities, provide directions, tell you how to make reservations and give you an idea of the cost for a night's stay in a specific campground. This series gives similar basic information and then goes beyond that. The Moon guides actually give you a feel of what it is like to stay in a specific campground - a bit of a narrative description and a "scenic beauty rating" for each campground plus information about nearby recreation opportunities. We like that a lot.
Have we found instances where we liked a campground more or less than the book's author? Of course. Tastes differ and things change over time. Even so, we would rather have an admittedly subjective rating of a campground's intangibles than to have nothing to go on but a recitation of facts and figures.
Are the Moon Outdoors Guides the only ones we carry? No. But they are ALWAYS the first place we turn when selecting a destination campground.

I've been very happy using this Moon guide to pick good places to camp this summer. The book is well-organized, with clear, honest, and up-to-date information about camping in Colorado. Best of all, author Sarah Ryan manages to convey the spirit of a place in concise and creative descriptions, with sentences like "The Gates of Lodore sounds and looks like a place out of Lord of the Rings." I've camped during summers in Colorado for over a decade, and I'm impressed with how accurately this book describes familiar places. And I've been particularly delighted with how helpful it's been in my search for hidden campground gems.
The definitive guide to camping in Colorado! June 30, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Almost 500 campgrounds in Colorado, from the plugged-in to the primitive are rated by author, Sarah Ryan according to facilities, scenic beauty, and activities. Ryan manages to be practical, informative and thoroughly engaging. Take, for instance, the quote she gets from Rosy Lane camp host Ray Zimball on the cliffs full of mica that surround his campground: "on a full moon you could read a newspaper by the light." This book is a must for Colorado campers and an excellent gift for outdoor-types. The guide is absolutely up-to-date but so well-written that it will be cherished by campers for decades.
