Читать книгу The Northern California Camper - Daniel C Merrill - Страница 4

This web book does not attempt to cover all of the campgrounds in Northern California. Rather, I review only 66 of the hundreds that are to be found in the northern part of our state. Those not reviewed are primarily situated around the large manmade lakes in the middle and eastern part of the state. These campgrounds are frequented by fishermen who use boats with noisy outboard motors to fish for lake trout and the other fish that inhabit the lakes.

In any case, the 66 campgrounds I cover in this EBook include all of important RV campgrounds in the three most beautiful areas of California. About one third of these campgrounds are located along our beautiful coast in Marin, Sonoma and Mendocino counties. The remainder are found in the magnificent Redwood Empire and in Humboldt County’s Bigfoot country. I have a lifetime of experience in these areas and share it with you in this EBook.

With two notable exceptions, all of the campgrounds reviewed are owned and operated by the county, state or federal government. The reason for this, of course, is because government agencies own most of the scenic areas in our state. The private campgrounds, for the most part, are situated on less attractive parcels of land.

This 29,286 word EBook includes 98 colored photographs. I know that you will find that the pictures greatly enhance the informational value of the text describing the campgrounds.

As mentioned above, the EBbook is divided into three sections. The first section covers the 31 campgrounds located along the Northern California Coast. The second section deals with the 18 campgrounds situated in the Redwood Empire and the third section describes the 17 campgrounds to be found along, or close to, the banks of the Trinity, Klamath and Salmon Rivers in Bigfoot country.

Each section of the E book begins with a comprehensive introduction of the area reviewed. This discussion includes, not only what to look for, but more importantly, what to watch out for. For example, the treacherous one lane Salmon River Road which is unsafe for even the smallest RV! The introduction includes, points of interest (don’t miss the Women’s federation Grove in Southern Humboldt County); where to buy provisions; where to fuel up; when to visit and what kind of fishing tackle to use in the rivers and streams you will be camping near.

Each sections introduction is followed by table showing a summary of the campgrounds reviewed in the section as shown below.

The tables are followed by a map which shows the locations of the campgrounds reviewed in the section.
