Book SynopsisPerfect Camping for You in New England!
The Best in Tent Camping: New England is a guidebook for tent campers who like quiet, scenic, and serene campsites. It''s the perfect resource if you blanch at the thought of pitching a tent on a concrete slab, trying to sleep through the blare of another camper''s music, or waking to find your tent surrounded by a convoy of RVs. Painstakingly selected from hundreds of campgrounds, the places in this book are the quietest, most beautiful, most secure, and best-managed campgrounds in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Each campground profile provides essential details on facilities, reservations, fees, and restrictions, as well as an accurate, easy-to-read map making the campground a snap to locate.
Rich with history, natural beauty, and environmental diversity, New England offers campers a new experience at every turn. From the tidal marsh of Long Island Sound, to Vermont''s world-famous forests, to the rocky shores of Maine, New England camping has never been better.
