The Camping Dictionary is a cute humorous dictionary for camping and outdoors enthusiasts by Heather Balogh Rochfort. Due out 14th April 2026 from Hachette on their Workman Publishing imprint, it's 176 pages (print version) and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.
For outdoors enthusiasts, general dictionary nerds, and the folks who love them. Arranged alphabetically, the entries are exactly as advertized on the cover, from Adventure to Zipper. Words are accompanied by cute, tongue-in-cheek line drawings (see cover art).
The writing is clear and engaging, the author has a good sense of humor and ties the realities of outdoor adventuring together in an entertaining fashion.
Four stars. This is a comprehensive guide, full of fun, and very good at its stated purpose. Worthwhile for spending a couple hours browsing in the library or cafe, and definitely a good choice for gifting to an outdoorsy friend/acquaintance.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
