Albiet it starts a bashing war. My 'go-to' is the KOA book of CG's. They are ALL listed by state with a short description AND a nice actual picture of a map for directions. Short sweet, small magazine type book with BIG type the size you can actually read.
After 'numerous' times of following directions from the Woodalls book that said a CG was 2 miles from an interstate and turns out to be 20 miles and THEN find out the CG has been closed for 2 years after finally finding it......that was the end of using it for CG's.
When RV'ing for the weekends maybe it doesn't bother campers to run across bad info from the woodalls book but when you are on the road full time and CG's are a necessity on a daily basis, and it happens over and over and over again you ditch the big book.:W
The woodalls book BIGGEST problem is if you don't know the surrounding cities where you are at you won't ever be able to search for additional CG's that might be just a mile down the road. And who knows while RV'ing what the name of all the small surrounding towns are called?
6 years full timing and KOA is now my first pick for a no surprises stay for the night. Directions that are accurate, CG's are really there and phone numbers that actually work. :C
