to much info

Unfortunately Woodalls is no longer. GS/TL took them over. In the process there was actually a reduction to the amount of information published on many of the individual campgrounds.

I picked up the Woodalls camping quides from AAA. They are broken down by sections of the country, very easy to handle.

GS has been told over and over about the size of the book and has not taken any steps to make it user friendly. Oh well

I don't know if Trailer Life is the same as GS and I think our TL is a few years old but we use it when we're on the road and find it easy to read. We also have the AAA camping guides for the areas we will be traveling to and through and we have a KOA guide too. The other guides we carry are individual State camping guides. Some times we get the AAA and the individual State guides before we leave home and sometimes on the road. I agree that the TL book could be split up by time zones and put four smaller guides in a package for a few bucks more than a single book.

If we are at home or in a campground with good WiFi, we also use the reviews from various sources and we use Google Earth for a look see. It has helped with picking locations by seeing what is in a CG and where it is.

Kind of a round about answer but that the sources we use.

"ok google, shom me rv park near me"

Forget the book, its a brave new (digital) world.

Use to use those books befor computers, they were great for the ratings and all, Woodalls was the best back then. Not sure what is out there now but the the symbol guide was always a page or two before the first state in the listings.

Mostly what I go by now when looking for new places are camping shows, rv park reviews, tripadvisor and campground websites.

+1...everything I need for research is on my computer or phone. If I'm in a pinch on the road I have an atlas to get me where I'm going.

It's not often that someone complains about getting too much for their money. :)

Now I know why you have so many posts racked up. The OP's question was:

Any good and to the point campground books out there?
