The guide features write-ups on 40 campgrounds and includes a two-page travel planning map as well as a grid that allows consumers to quickly see which campgrounds offer 26 different types of amenities and services, from tent camping to rental accommodations to cable TV and Wi-Fi, as well as other characteristics of interest to camping and RVing enthusiasts.
