The Best in Tent Camping: Colorado: A Guide to Campers Who Hate RVs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos

From Library Journal
Following on the success of titles covering tent camping in the Smoky Mountains and in Florida, Molloys latest is a pure delight. Colorado offers desert, prairie, and mountain camping opportunities, and Molloy has apparently visited just about all of them in his effort to present the best sites. He uses a five-star rating system to describe the beauty, privacy, spaciousness, noise level, and security of each campground, and he includes a wealth of information on the nearby attractions campers will want to see. Going beyond camping, he offers information on activities available at each of the sites, including fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting. The dedicated camper will appreciate Molloys subtitlethis is not for those who believe roughing it means going without a TV. Clear driving directions, phone numbers, web addresses, fees, and restrictions add to the books overall value. Considering the importance of Colorado as a vacation destination, as well as the lack of materials on true outdoor camping, Molloys book belongs on the shelf of most public libraries.Joseph L.
