5.0 out of 5 stars Family Fun and Wilderness Adventures in New Jersey, Jun 26 2005

By Colinda "L.S.W." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: New Jersey (Paperback)

The Best in Tent Camping New Jersey is a thorough guide to non-RV camping in the Garden State. Like the other guides in the publishers Tent Camping series, it describes and rates 50 campgrounds, giving you both a handy summary of key information for each and an interesting narrative of background information.

Those of us who don't think of New Jersey as a nature-lovers destination will be pleasantly surprised to learn that the state has mountain wilderness, piney recreation areas, and even some quiet beaches. I was surprised to read that there is a bear overpopulation in New Jersey, and the book contains warnings for the campgrounds where this might be a problem.

Author Marie Javins writes with an appreciation of the environment and the state's history while at the same time recognizing that families might sometimes want urban touring or resort-style recreation. She explains which campgrounds offer a wilderness experience and which offer more hectic activities (or are convenient to theme parks). She also tells you where your dog is accepted - they are not allowed in state parks.

The book is easy to read and even has some enjoyable humor.

Although billed as a guide for "car campers" this book is also for people camping by canoe or bicycle. Hikers and RV campers might also find it helpful since few outdoor guidebooks for New Jersey are as comprehensive as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars camping is fun!, May 12 2007

By S. Intemann "Only You" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Best in Tent Camping: New Jersey (Paperback)

This book points out all the good and bad that goes along with numerous campsites in NJ. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from it all whether it means parking your car right next to your campsite, or hiking about if you are in need of more seclusion.

Not many resources like this for the tent camper. Helps you avoid the tent city camping experience. Great book and reference!
