The Best in Tent Camping: Washington: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate Rvs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos

by Jeanne Louise Pyle

From the Olympic Peninsula to Puget Sound, the Emerald State offers a wealth of camping opportunities. This expert guide profiles 50 of the state's best campsites, using a handy star system to rank everything from beauty, privacy, and spaciousness to quiet, security, and cleanliness. Each site is accessible by automobile but not overrun by RVs, offers great scenery, and is as close to a wilderness experience as possible. Useful at-a-glance data covers reservations, fees, and restrictions. Clear maps show campground layout, individual sites, and key facilities. Driving directions supplemented with GPS-based coordinates for each site entrance make getting there a snap.

Customer Reviews

True to its name!

As a backpacker who chooses the comforts of car camping when embarking on WA adventures with my family, this book has become one of my favorites. This year and last, we used the book as a guide for finding out-of-the-way campsites which bar RVs and towed campers. In all cases, the author was completely accurate in her descriptions of the campsites, the road conditions leading to the campsites, and the campsite's scenic beauty ratings.
