West Coast RV Parks:
Moon Outdoors Guide to
RV Parks and Campgrounds

West Coast RV Camping: The Author
The book is just over 1000 pages long, a massive job, and the man who undertook it is Tom Stienstra. Tom's written lots of outdoors guides including camping guides to California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as to Northern California and the whole Pacific Northwest. He's also written guides to California Wildlife, California Fishing, California Hiking, and more. He's no ordinary guidebook writer, though, as he does weekly radio and TV programs in San Francisco, and has won numerous awards including California Outdoor Writer of the Year five times, and twice the National Outdoor Writer of the Year in the newspaper division. Oh yes, he's also the outdoors columnist for the
San Francisco Chronicle.

West Coast RV Parks: Fees and Facilities
Each of the 1800+ entries is marked on one of the maps and given a number in a logical geographical order, then listed in the text in numerical order. So if you know where you are, which most of us do most of the time, and you know where you're headed, it's easy to find the RV sites you might want to book. Each entry also tells you whether reservations are essential, recommended, or not accepted, as well as the park or campground's fees. Bear in mind that the book was published in 2007, so fees will have changed – but at least you get a rough idea of what the fees are likely to be.

Each entry also reviews the site's facilities, and gives you the phone number, fax number, and a website if there is one. Most importantly, it gives you detailed directions to help you find the place.

The Best West Coast RV Parks
There are lots of other extra features in the West Coast RV Camping guide, including a few pages of RV Camping Tips, which new RV people especially will find useful. There are several pages listing useful resources at the back, and a 26-page index. The author also gives us his choice of the Best RV Parks and Campgrounds in five categories:

• Best Coastal Sites
• Best Fishing
• Best Wildlife-Viewing
• Prettiest Lakes
• Prettiest Rivers

West Coast RV Camping
At first glance the book might seem pricey at $24.95 but this works out at less than 3 cents a page and little more than 1 cent for each RV park reviewed. For anyone planning even one RV trip anywhere in California, Oregon, or Washington, or along the Pacific Coast Highway, it will more than repay the purchase price, I'm sure.
