In addition to providing campers with essential information about each campground (including season, rates, facilities, and how to reserve a site), the full-color guide identifies the best sites at the best campgrounds, offers information on exciting day trips, suggests hikes and activities accessible from the campgrounds, and describes the flora and fauna that campers might encounter on a trip.
