Description
The vast and varied landscape of Wisconsin is evident to all who come to the Badger State. The sand duneladen shores of Lake Michigan, lake-studded highlands of the North Woods, ridges and valleys of the southwest, and the deep gorges cut by dark, fast-flowing rivers forming waterfalls striving for Lake Superior all of this spells paradise for the tent camper.

When faced with a long list of camp sites on the reservation page, I turn to this book. Each time we've let this book guide us we've gotten a very good spot, and I greatly appreciate the details as to "why" spots are good -- the view, the noise level, the size, whatever -- as everyone has different preferences for their sites. (For example, I'm unlikely to pick one "featuring" a 100 yard walk from the parking area, but love those described as "well screened by trees from the neighbors".) Excellent book.

Perfect perfect. Don't take a chance on finding the right campground, this book is a must for planning your Wisconsin camping trip, that is, if you hate RVs, noisy campers, and really love to find beauty, peace and quiet. Well organized, easy to use, broken down perfectly. Shows you everything you need to know, down to the best campsite (a godsend for making those "blind" camping reservations). I can't find anything bad to say!!

This is a great resource when looking for a spot for tent camping. It has several locations throughout the area, and rates them based upon several criteria. It even gets down to individual sites within a location. But this is where its strength becomes its weakness. Once you get the feel for what a book like this can deliver, you want MORE. You want more locations, more reviews of individual sites at each location, and more "criteria" for ratings. For example, I go camping for astronomy. I'd like to know about sites where I can get a good look at the sky. Totally shaded or wooded sites just don't work for me. In short, this book SPOILS us. It gives us what we want and need, even if we didn't know that we needed it. The ONLY objection is that it is too thin. It could use more sites - especially those in the SE area of the state since most of the places reviewed are in the other quadrants.

As has already been commented on, the map on the inside cover showing where the reviewed campgrounds are located is truly USELESS! You will need to Google the locations or look them up on the WDNR web site, white-out and correct the erroneous sites and then add page numbers next to all the sites on the map, this makes it much more user-friendly. I really do not understand why the publisher could not do this with the page numbers. It seems to be a theme with this series. Once you make these changes, it's a pretty good guide book. I would have of given this book four stars if it had not been for the map errors, and five stars if they would have included page numbers next to the sites on the map.

Was hoping this book would give some extra insight, but it ended up just saying the very basic of information you could, without paying anything, get online. Even what's obtainable at the local library is better than this book. I agree with the review by C. E. Anderson, though I wouldn't like to sound as caustic. The maps the writer gives are over the top rudimentary, as if a 6th grader was asked to sketch it. The information boxes for the local destinations gave local contact address with a sparse haphazardly "directions" on how to get there. For what it's worth, go to a local library, or, better still, go online for a more in depth source of information. This book felt too shallow, and dated for my liking.

I've visited a most of the campsites reviewed in the Southern section and I've found them all to be very accurate in the description...except one. Because of the heavy rains in southern WI Blackhawk Campground was nothing but a swamp but I'm sure it's great once the water level falls 2-3 feet. Great resource. Highly recommended!

I had purchased the first edition of this book, and found it so helpful that I wanted the updated version when it was available. The writer describes the camps and sites with such detail, that I always have confidence in reserving not only at a particular park, but even to request a specific campsite. A WONDERFUL resource....

Great book. This book is great because it is so detailed. It identifies varioous places to camp and even gets down to the campsites which are nice amongst in the place being reviewed. I would give it a five but this particular edition has a flaw. The map of Wisconsin found on the inner cover of this book that "shows" where all these campsites are is a mess. For example, one campsite is shown about 100 miles into Minnesota. All the publisher does is refer you to a correction you can download on the internet and paste into your new book. Poor solution. You would be suprised how much you use this aspect of the book.
