Very informative - a must have for tent campers April 21, 2007

The detail level is fantastic. You feel like you have already camped at one of these sites before you even go. It gets down to descriptions of each numbered site within a campground so you can easily decide which one to grab when you arrive. Details like beauty, security etc...are rated with stars. I have visited 4 sites now from the book and find the ratings right on.
My only knock is the directions need to be a little better. They dont start you from a major road - but rather obscure backroads. You will need to do some additional map work to find some of the more remote spots - but other than that it's a must have for tent campers.
All the heavy lifting is done... October 9, 2005

JM has done a great job of camping in the stellar, and not so stellar camping destinations of Georgia doing the heavy lifting for the rest of us.
Each location has all the information needed whether interested in hiking, swimming, boating, etc. JM's descriptions are true to form for each location. I truly enjoy noticing something mentioned in JM's book as I vist the Best in Tent Camping destinations.
 Great resource and starting point; get out and see Georgia! March 1, 2005

This book needs to have an online counterpart. The dearth of good (objective!) camping information online in this part of the country can be frustrating.
This book fills in the gaps for tent campers who need some details on the multitude of camping spots in Georgia, written by someone who had the time to actually visit many of them. This is perfect for busy professionals like myself who often have no idea where to start, and can't waste a free weekend on a campsite that may be subpar.
Molloy fills in the gaps for you with a rubric of important criteria, all from the standpoint of the casual camper who appreciates a quiet, beautiful setting to enjoy. This is information that doesn't really exist elsewhere, so if you camp in the state of Georgia, it's an absolutely essential reference. Seasoned campers with their own favorite spots may have slightly less of a use for this book, but even then one might find a gem that had been previously overlooked.
This work loses a star because the overall map and legend lacks an easy way to identify which star on the map is which campsite, without thumbing back through the table of contents. This made it slightly harder to see which campsites are in which area at a glance. Overall, a very useful reference.
Hint: Take the book along with you camping in your vehicle or duffel bag. Scribble your own notes in the margin regarding the campsite you visited, best places to park, nearest gas station, etc. Make it your own personal reference as well!
