Summary: Don't buy the e-book (Adobe Download) version
Comment: The 1 star review doesn't refer to the content - I agree with other reviews - but to the e-book version. Here's what you don't get in the e-book version:
* the ability to copy/paste text (like driving directions, for example) to any other application (like an email message to your friends about where to meet)
* the ability to lend the book to anyone else.
* the ability to use the text-to-speech feature in the Adobe reader.
* the ability to ever migrate the book to another PC. Yes, that's right, if you get a new PC and trash your old one, this title WILL BE LOST. Adobe doesn't provide a way to move the book to another PC. So, if you are like a number of people and upgrade/replace your PC every few years, your SOL on keeping this book through a new generation of PC. That fact is in no way obvious on the Adobe web site - SHAME on Adobe for effectively conceiling a complete deal-killer.
However, with the exception of the last item, I can't really knock Adobe. It's the...publisher of the book that has decided to lock out all the features of the reader that make the e-book version useful to begin with. At least with the paper version I can loan it to friends or take it on trips. I can't even download text into a PDA. I have sympathy for the issue of copywrite protection, but being able to copy/paste driving directions was the reason I bought the e-book version to begin with. What did they think - I was going to copy/paste the whole book?
The one thing they couldn't/didn't lock out is screen captures. It *is* possible to capture a screen from the reader, save the file as .gif, and then email that. A pain, but it does give me minimal satisfaction that it's possible....

Summary: Great book for campers who know what they're looking for.
Comment: My husband and I truly enjoy camping in Colorado, and have spent every summer we've lived here touring the state and camping out. We NEVER stay in a hotel. It's so exciting to visit new places and enjoy the beauty of nature. It's so important to me to find "THE" perfect camp site, and sometimes that's not easy when time or resources are limited. Johnny Malloy gives you the right amount of information for each campground he reviews so that you can feel confident that when you get to where you're going, you won't feel disappointed. Some reviews include information about the geography of the area, crowds, activities nearby, and even which site(s) is(are) the best site at the campground. He also includes the elevation of each campground which is important because it gets cold in Colorado at night sometimes! Using this book, you can easily find the right information about a campground so that you can really enjoy your time spent outdoors.
Rating: 3
Summary: Better do lots of reading!
Comment: This book has sooo... much information! You will need to do lots of reading before you can really focus and decide on where you want to camp. It's good for those that have plenty of time to decide on their destination but I don't belive it is for those who need a quick reference. There are NO color pictures in this book so you don't know what the campgrounds look like before you get there. I'm giving this book 3 stars...
