Excellent resource

For those of you who have a desire to vacation but need to lower expenses, you might find that camping is something to investigate, and this book is a great resource. It is based specifically for Oregon, but has great information that could apply to anywhere. As for the Oregon specific information, the book is invaluable. If you are new to the area or well-established, I think you can still find helpful information here. It is well organized and well written.

very helpful

Solid guide with a nice mix of coastal and inland sites. We used the book to plan a week in Oregon and found the site reviews very accurate and helpful in steering us to great campgrounds we wouldn't have found left to our devices. When we were unable to reach one of these sites, we were dismayed by our lot as the alternate state campgrounds we found were overcrowded, RV filled, and exactly what we didn't come for. Highly recommend this book. Pyle offers usefuly ratings for various dimensions including best season to visit, level of campground bugginess, solitude, etc.
