ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks to all the friends, family, and random strangers who, to my surprise, were happy to share a secret or two when I asked them about their favorite campgrounds in Oregon. (Of course, there’s no rule against keeping a few places to yourself; discovering your own favorites is half the fun!) Also, thanks to Paul Gerald for putting together a solid second edition for me to revise, and to the folks at AdventureKEEN for asking me to do it. Thanks to my grandparents Dorothy and Bob Ohlsen for lending me the van that became my mobile office, and to my expert copilot, a great traveler, stargazer, snack maker, map reader, and card shark. Finally, huge thanks to everyone at the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and all the park staff and volunteers who keep these campgrounds in tip-top shape and who provided helpful updates, advice, campground layouts, and other vital information to make these entries as accurate as possible.
