California Camping: The Complete Guide to More Than 50,000 Campsites for Tenters, Rvers, and Car Campers (10th) [Taschenbuch]

Tom Stienstra, outdoors columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and an enthusiastic promoter of California's wild country, has been collecting information on the state's campgrounds for years--mostly, he writes, so that he would never have to "get stuck again looking for a spot." That wealth of information has been transferred into California Camping, as complete a guide to the state's under-the-stars sleepovers as has ever been assembled. Drawing on a team of fellow enthusiasts for up-to-date information, Stienstra here lists more than 1,500 campgrounds, ranging from the large venues with hundreds of spaces that lie within Yosemite National Park to the tiniest of public-lands facilities (such as Millard Falls outside Los Angeles, where only five tent sites lie within shouting distance of a 60-foot waterfall). More than a hundred of the listings detail wilderness campgrounds without services, while many more catalogue facilities that are appropriate for RV campers and extended stays. Stienstra takes a generally upbeat view, as when he calls Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay "one of the most beautiful and popular state parks on the planet," but he also warns campers about less-than-ideal conditions, such as the interstate highway noise that awaits overnighters at San Onofre State Beach north of San Diego. California Camping is a valuable reference for any camping enthusiast with a California destination in mind. --Gregory McNamee -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels. WARNING: Never get stuck again without a campsite! WARNING: What could be worse than showing up at dusk at a campground -- then finding that it is full? There you are, stuck for the night with no place to go! With the book California Camping, you’ll never get stuck again. You will always be able to find a spot to camp for the night. I can’t imagine heading out on a trip without this book on the front seat. In the process, you will also see how adventure can the wonder and sensation that attract campers to some of the most beautiful places on earth. California has over 1,500 campgrounds, featuring 383 drive-to lakes, 185 major streams, 20 million acres of national forest, and 18 million acres of land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management—including many little-known, still largely secret places. I have made it a mission to find every one of these, and over the past year in a complete reworking of this book, I ventured to every section of the state, explored all 58 counties, and discovered countless new places. Rarely has there been a more perfect time to take a trip than this year, with every lake and stream filled, and projected to stay filled even through late summer as the snowpack in the high Sierra melts off. Everything is aligned for the best of the outdoors: camping, boating, hiking, fishing, or watching the sun rise at one of your special places on this planet. Every listing has been faxed, checked, and personally reviewed by me and hundreds of experts, to put California’s great outdoors right in the palm of your hand. I’ve always felt that camping is like religion: many paths, one truth . . . Like waking up at Santa Rosa Island in your tent, poking your head out, and feeling as if you have the entire world all to yourself . . . or at Buckhorn campground near Mt. Waterman in Angeles National Forest, making the hike down to gorgeous Cooper Canyon Falls, where all is tranquil and divine . . . or at Upper Soda Springs along the San Joaquin River near Devils Postpile, set high at 8,400 feet in the eastern Sierra, flyfishing for small brook trout, rainbow trout, and sometimes even golden trout, and hiking the trail to pristine Thousand Island Lake at the foot of Ritter and Banner peaks . . . or at Panther Meadows at the foot of Mount Shasta, watching the sun at dusk cast alpenglow on the summit. A lot of people would like to know what heaven looks like, but they aren’t real eager to make the trip. It’s my opinion that camping and the great outdoors provides a glimpse of the promised land without ever having to leave the natural world. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
