Best Tent Camping Oregon ― Your Car-camping Guide to Scenic Beauty, the Sounds of Nature, and an Escape from Civilization

The guide to the top 50 tent campsites in Oregon.

The new, full-color edition of Best Tent Camping: Oregon by Becky Ohlsen guides campers to the state's quietest and most scenic campsites. It's the perfect resource for those who blanch at the thought of pitching a tent on a concrete slab, trying to sleep through the blare of another camper's boom box, or waking up to find your tent surrounded by RVs.

The book contains detailed campground layout maps; key information such as fees, restrictions, and dates of operation; and candid ratings for beauty, privacy, quiet, security, spaciousness, and cleanliness.
