Mark & Beth, I thought I had lost my 1st edition and bought the second edition by Giordano, thinking it was an upgrade, but the Giordano book is a different book and really not up to snuff. Thankfully, I found the Judd book, and passed the other on to my cousin.

The only problem you might find with the Judd-CAMPING WASHINGTON book would be with the fact that a very few of the rated campgrounds may have closed over the years. To me it is an outstanding book for info on camping my state. There is, though , no internet info in the book. Ratings, phone #'s, size restrictions,hook up info, location directions, and campground descriptions abound. Hey M&B you DO live a long ways away to get much use out of this book, though!

Thanks. We're headed that way later this summer hopefully.

Nice! Hope you have a great trip. There's a ton of wonderful stuff to see/experience between your area and my beach abode. Plan wisely, as the best spots get pretty crowded out here in the summer. Don't be afraid to P/M down the road if you need any specific WA State info.

Hi Camper Bob- thank you for sharing your experience with the Tahoe. I keep doing research on tow vehicle options and just today we were looking at the hybrid versions of the Tahoe and Yukon. Does anyone have experience using a hybrid to tow an rpod? 

The Pathfinder sounds like a good choice. It seems the japanese made vehicles are very reliable. Did you decide to get a lighter duty vehicle for the fuel economy?

The Annual Roundup sounds like fun and you its hard to beat the scenic beauty of Cannon Beach. Where does everyone camp? Are there campgrounds accessible with online reservations? I know peak Summer weekends tend to fill up way in advance.

We will be camping at Cape Disappointment Sate Park in late August for the Long Beach Kite Festival. We have never attended the event before but it sounds like a good time!

When you visit Cape Disappointment make sure also to take in the Cottage Bakery in Long Beach. But not if you're on a diet! The Lewis and Clark Interp. Center above the park is also very worthwhile with a great view, particularly on a stormy day.
