The 2009 Trailer Life Directory is the most comprehensive, accurate, and reliable source for campground information available, with full descriptions and details for 11,759 private and public campgrounds, RV service centers, LP gas locations, and tourist attractions. This year's edition includes more than 250,000 updates from last year's edition. Private campgrounds are personally evaluated and rated annually by TL inspection teams. Each campground is checked every year to ensure the most up to date information. They inspect, evaluate, and rate each campground with the exclusive Trailer Life Triple Rating System and this year the guidelines are tougher than ever. The comprehensive listings include: location, accurate directions, open and closing dates, daily rates, hook-up facilities, number and type of sites available, pull-thrus, and amenities such as security, laundry, dump stations, swimming pools, and other types of recreation, pet restrictions, elevations (if over 2500 feet), and sites with wireless Internet access. This guide also includes full-color state maps that pinpoint more than 10,000 cities and towns with RV park locations, and a trouble-shooting section, travel checklists, and an RV resource guide.

Description

If you drive or haul an RV longer than 32 feet, then many campgrounds cannot accommodate your rig. After a long day of driving, it's no fun to learn that the park you selected can't squeeze you in either because of your rig's length or its multiple slideouts. Eight years ago, full-time RVers Ken and Ellie Hamill decided it was time to do something to help other owners of large RVs: the result was their Big Rigs Best Bets campground directory, which lists RV parks throughout the 48 states that eagerly accept large RVs. Remarkably, every park listed in the spiral-bound guide has been visited personally by the authors to ensure the information is accurate. Specific campsite suggestions are mentioned for most parks. So, you'll know before you arrive which sites to request. Also, if there's good fishing (or restaurants or other attractions) nearby, you'll know about it. The 2008 directory even includes a special section of parks that offer wireless internet (WiFi) access and selected Diesel fuel stops. Parks listed range from luxury destination resorts to rustic campgrounds where you can snuggle up with Mother Nature. The 2008 edition covers all 48 states and six Canadian Provinces. Once you receive the 485-page directory, you'll see why the authors are fulltimers. They simply could not produce such a quality and helpful book without living and breathing the lifestyle.
