Camping America's Guide to Free and Low-Cost Campgrounds: Includes Campgrounds ...12 and Under in the United States Review: Do you love inexpensive travel?? - WOW!! This guide paid for itself the first night out. My husband and I, and our two dogs just returned after 5800 miles in Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and back to SW Washington where we live. We were in our wonderful Alpenlite 22' fifth wheel trailer that my husband has done a complete Solar power installation following the directions on "Handy Bob's blog". We never ran out of power and we use a coffee maker, TV, computer, Vita-Mix blender, small electric iron, curling iron and stereo system, not to mention recharging phones, cameras and Kindle during the day. Please check out Handy Bob if you are considering installing Solar in your RV. His directions and suggestions REALLY WORK and the cost is a fraction of what you would pay to have it done by a pro. We found wonderful places to stay in this book and had a ball planning where to stop next. Not many seem to know about these places, some of them National Forests, BLM and also The Corps of Engineers properties. Some of them are without power and water but if you are self contained and have Solar this isn't a problem at all. There are good directions to each place, the costs are what are stated and if you intend to save $$ while traveling, this book is a must have!!. A great book for the RV or tent traveler and we highly recommend this book. Review: Be Advised. . . - A 3.5 star rating would be more accurate, I think. Worthwhile book to have if you look to camp inexpensively on a few occasions, or regularly. However, I wrote this review to point out some features -- mostly the shortcomings. The book covers 44 states. Most notable missing is New York State. Each State section is preceded by a State map, numbered with the places detailed in the text. Some of these maps are frustrating to read. Most notable: Arkansas (South), and CA (all State sections), are almost impossible to use. The identified places on the map have numbers (a black circle filled in, with a white number inside the black circle) that are very small and blurry -- nearly impossible to read in some cases. The previous edition has this same problem. There are a couple of instances where, if the maps were oriented differently (e.g., in a landscape orientation) it could have been presented larger and (hopefully) easier to use. States that have fewer places have large, easy to read numbers. Perhaps more of a challenge to the publisher/editor, but the maps in these cases should have been further split up into sections to increase the size of the numbers. Lastly, the placing of the numbers on the map is sometimes 'off' in the sense that they really aren't where they belong. Not far from their proper location; just not quite 'right.' This can be misleading or the user might 'miss' a place since it wasn't marked where they are or planning to go. Although really not a problem, it should be noted that several of the maps have a different numbering appearance. Usually the places are identified with a black circle with a white number inside. On some maps, this is not the system. The text is very small -- fine print. Sort of the size you'd expect footnotes to be written, in some books. Nonetheless, the text is crisp, clear, and easy to read. I know some of these places do not have a direct phone number, but many do in fact have direct phone numbers (e.g., to specific State parks). The book does not list any phone numbers for individual entries. There are general phone numbers for some places at the beginning of each State section. There are a few instances where, directions given to the location are inaccurate. So the best course would be to use a second source or GPS to compare or find the camping area. Having and using a smartphone (where you can get a signal) is the wise way to verify the camping location. It is still a publication worth having, as noted above, if your goal is to camp inexpensively as an ongoing travel mode. Descriptions are reliable in general (except as noted above), although places do change (pricing, availability, amenities, services, etc.) what with some funding cut backs. The book is light weight (approx 1.5 pounds), considering it is almost 1.5 inches thick. Pages a very thin. They have a 'newspaper page' quality to them and are pale grey, not white. The book is easy to carry and transport while traveling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #801,327 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #499 in Parks & Campgrounds Travel Reference (Books) #511 in Camping (Books) #5,700 in US Travel Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (674) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.5 x 8.75 inches | | Edition | Edition 15.5 | | ISBN-10 | 0937877557 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0937877555 | | Item Weight | 1.61 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 520 pages | | Publication date | April 15, 2014 | | Publisher | The Wright Guide | ## Images ![Camping America's Guide to Free and Low-Cost Campgrounds: Includes Campgrounds $12 and Under in the United States - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1t05X5A3CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do you love inexpensive travel?? *by C***L on October 20, 2016* WOW!!

I love camping and have always used the internet to research spots, but this book has totally revolutionized my means of gathering information on the subject. I really don't know of another way to get such a vast and critically useful list of places to camp. It is well organized, updated constantly (the version I just received was updated this year) and there is even a toll free number in the front where you can reach a LIVE person to help you navigate through the book. Each listing also gives you specific information so you know what to be prepared for (i.e. no running water, no facilities, camp fire grill area, etc.), along with exact coordinates, how long you can stay and of course how much it costs. Buy this book! You will not be disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8006011-camping-americas-guide-to-free-and-low-cost-campgrounds-includes](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8006011-camping-americas-guide-to-free-and-low-cost-campgrounds-includes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
