Where Should We Camp Next?: Budget Camping is a super resource for readers looking for budget friendly camping and activities in every US state, written and curated by Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi. Released 2nd April 2024 by Sourcebooks, it's a solid 464 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.
The profiles for camping and outdoor activity locations in all 50 states are arranged geographically from the New England to the West. Each area is further divided into specific campgrounds and attractions both inside and outside the boundaries. Most of the profiles include contact links and online resources and a short description. Tips and extra info are provided in highlighted text boxes throughout, such as places to boondock (park RVs for free overnight), source budget gear, and much more.
Graphics are spare, monochrome, and mostly simply drawn. There's no photography.
The info provided is pithy, correct (as far as info available at time of publication), and has a welcome family friendly vibe. My fondest memories of my childhood are of RV travels with my paternal grandparents, and this book brought so many good memories back to me from campgrounds and parks we visited. I was delighted to see some of the actual campgrounds I visited as a kid are still there and in operation *decades* later.
Five stars. Invaluable resource for travelers in and to the USA. It would make a good choice for public library acquisition and home use.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
