Title: Don't trust it
Review: This is not camping!We've been to many of the campgrounds listed in the book. Even campgrounds he rates high for spaciousness and privacy are essentially parking lots with a few trees in between. In a campground with a five star rating for both we were about 40 feet from the nearest surrounding RVs and parties with load music. The campgrounds are always full even in the "off" season, in the rain, in an area fairly remote (example: northern coast by Crescent City).The way to truly tent camp out of a vehicle in California is to off-road it in the Trinity, Six Rivers, or other National Forests using a map of the logging and forest roads. Otherwise, no matter what campground you go to, it is essentially a parking lot. The only other alternative to get into nature and actually camp is to backpack. These campgrounds are good for last minute "we just have to stop for the night" trips, but not to get away from noise and other people (tough to do in California in general).
