The big book is available on-line or at Camping World ($10 yesterday) and has maps showing campground locations in it. I use it less often now than I used to but often go to http://www.campgroundreviews.com/or https://www.allstays.com/Campgrounds/. Reserveamerica.com has info on many state parks and others.

I do! We first purchased it but after a few years we found the listings never updated and there was so much more information available online and enroute without lugging along that big book.

Welcome!

The last GS book I consulted was heavy on the private campgrounds and very light on public campgrounds.

Whats easier to handle in the cab of a truck or at the dinette in a tt?
Chances are you have a smartphone with you anyway, and with google earth, you can even get an overhead view in many cases. And with most apps, you bring up a map of where you want to go, and it then shows pins for the campgrounds. With a book, you need the name of each town or crossroad to figure where you are searching.

The book is one thing, but most folks anymore use the web.
there are numerous apps for locating and checking ratings on campgrounds.
