GREAT BOOK! April 10, 2007
We used this book to determine every campground we'll stay at in CO.
The pictures were wonderful and the ratings were very useful. We are tent camping so it was nice to find a book that not only catered to the RV campers but the tent campers as well.
Simply the BEST! March 1, 2007

We have lived, and extensively camped, in Colorado for more than 25 years, so we speak from experience when we say this is a must have reference to Colorado's BEST PUBLIC CAMPGROUNDS (BLM, City and County, Forest Service, State and National Parks, and State Wildlife Areas). "Colorado Campgrounds: The 100 Best And All the Rest" is by far the most informative guide you can buy!
It divides the state into 9 geographic regions and covers 434 public campgrounds with inside information and ratings on the author's "Top 100". For each of these select campgrounds, you will find a listing that opens with a color photo, the campground's general location, elevation, number of sites, recommended RV length, season, maps, and phone numbers. Directions, a discussion of the campground's distinguishing features (usually including specific site recommendations), a "heads up" on the campground's popularity (with comments on reservable sites), a brief listing of facilities, special notes for RVers and for tenters (often with more site recommendations), and information on recreational opportunities. As if all that weren't enough, the book also rates each of the "Top 100" for scenery, desirability as a destination for RVers and for tenters, shade and privacy. The ratings are on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.
Admittedly, this is not the campground guide for the RVer seeking the sorts of facilities available only in commercial campgrounds. If swimming pools and full hookups are at the top of your list of campground priorities, you will be better served by other guide books. For the rest of us, this one is simply the BEST!
Invaluable Guide to Colorado Campgrounds February 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an invaluable guide to those of us with limited vacation time who want to maximize our camping experience. Gil takes all of the guess work out of picking a campground and campsite. His accuracy and level of detail is phenomenal. We are tent campers who like a campground with water nearby and not a lot of RVs. This book allows us to pick just the right spot every time. I've used this book for eight camping trips over the last 3 summers and all have been great experiences.
A DEFINITE MUST FOR COLORADO CAMPING. December 17, 2006
5 stars for sure. This book is well done. No false hype. Lots of details. An easy to understand rating system of the parks. Plenty of photos, maps, and illustrations. We camp about 5 times a year. This book will be in the cab of the truck, along with the first aid kit.
Must Have If Camping in Colorado October 11, 2006
A friend and I bought this book the day before our road trip to colorado. It classifies the campgrounds by sections in the state, which is very helpful when you are driving. It also includes several color pictures so you get a feel for each campground before you go there. We used it basically as our bible, looking at while we were on the road to determine where we would stay the next night.
