Hatfields and McCoys, camping in West Virginia has never been
better. Best Tent Camping: West Virginia, now in its third edition,
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 boombox, or waking up to find your tent
surrounded by a convoy of RVs. In Best Tent Camping: West Virginia,
outdoor adventurer Johnny Molloy guides readers to the quietest,
most beautiful, most secure, and best-managed campgrounds in the
Mountain State. Painstakingly selected from hundreds of
campgrounds, each campsite is rated for beauty, noise, privacy,
security, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Each campground profile
gives unbiased and thorough evaluations, taking the guess work out
of finding the perfect site.

enthusiasts to the most beautiful, yet lesser known, of the state's
campsites, guaranteeing a peaceful retreat. Each entry provides the
latest maps of the grounds and alerts readers to the best sites
within the facility to ensure a rewarding and relaxing visit.
Campsite ratings for beauty, privacy, spaciousness, quietness,
security, and cleanliness help campers pick the perfect campground
for any trip. In addition, each site entry has complete contact and
registration information, operating hours, and a list of
restrictions. Directions to the site come complete with GPS
coordinates to put travelers right at the main gate. For beginning
adventurers and seasoned veterans alike, Best Tent Camping:
Virginia makes any trip more gratifying and is the key to enjoying

Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through
sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget
the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life
slowly. It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for
their own sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on.
Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you
going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course. In this
book we define the best driving routes around Ireland for camper
vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what
to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around
Ireland on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes
and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that's fun; often
free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers;
for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and walkers. We include
the steepest, the bendiest, the scariest and most interesting. And
you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome - we'll tell
you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey.
All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and
quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes,
Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a
cold day and plan your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit
slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you
want to turn the key and go, go, go!
Well-traveled outdoor writer and native Tennessean Johnny Molloy
methodically set forth into his home state, searching for
campgrounds to include in this new edition of Best Tent Camping:
Tennessee. Having camped the state for decades, Molloy, with over
50 outdoor guides to his credit, uaed his wealth of experience and
scoured the entirety of Tennessee -- choosing only the most
pristine campgrounds that included not only a great locale for tent
campers but with fun outdoors activities nearby, most as close as
your tent door. Included in this book is a rating system for the
Southern Appalachian's 50 best tent campgrounds. Certain campground
attributes -- beauty, site privacy, site spaciousness, quiet,
security, and cleanliness/upkeep -- are ranked using a star system.
At a time when interest in the outdoors is at an all time high,
this year sees the launch of a brand new guidebook: Almost Wild
Camping, from the experts behind the best-selling Cool Camping
series. Featuring 50 off-grid-style campsites in some of Britain's
wildest locations, this glovebox sized guide is packed with
inspiration for first-time wild campers looking for a remote place
to pitch without having to arrive late and leave early - and with
the added benefit of campfires, a composting toilet and maybe even
the chance of a bucket shower beneath a tree. Exciting
recommendations include a tiny 10-person campsite in Scotland only
accessible by boat, a restricted riverside site in a Norfolk Broads
nature reserve and woodland pitches in Pembrokeshire over a mile
from the nearest road. Every site featured is brought to life with
entertaining, insightful reviews and dazzling colour photography.
Each entry is also accompanied by a quick-fire fact box detailing
the basic facilities provided, how to access the wildest pitches,
how far to the nearest pub and levels of mobile phone coverage,
along with Ordnace Survey map references and essential contact
details. Meeting the needs of would-be wild campers, this brand new
title also features an opening chapter on wild camping, with tips
and tricks, safety information and advice on wild camping
responsibly, with particular pages dedicated to Scotland and
Dartmoor National Park. So, whether you're a seasoned camper
looking for wilder places to pitch or a first time wild camper

guide to help you plan your trip.

within the larger parks, and "at a glance" charts provide a quick
and easy way to determine the extent of such amenities as showers,
flush toilets, electricity, etc. The unique features of each park
or campground are described, as well as the recreation available,

In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J.
Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other
times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion
for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it,"
writes foreword contributor William R. Lowry. In 2013 Yochim was
diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the
disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book
establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle
with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on
the national parks--the treasured wilderness that he loved and to
which he dedicated his life. Yochim explains how climate change is
already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural
conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and
Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work,
Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions
between people and nature and the world that can inspire and
destroy them.

Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park welcomes more than 4
million visitors every year, but this jewel of America's parks has
seen more than its fair share of deaths among its tourists. More
than 70 people have perished attempting to climb Longs Peak, the

never to be found. Thousand-foot falls from high rock ledges,
hypothermia, avalanches that bury climbers, lightning strikes, a
historic flood, and even plane crashes are among the ways that park
visitors have met a bad end. Author Randi Minetor also provides
tips for staying alive and safe in the Rocky Mountains.
