We have looked at many of the books availalbe and wonder if those of you that do use or have used materials is thier a "best" one?

For general planning we use the Trailer Life Cd probably more than anything else. In addition to that we always check RV Park Reviews online, because the TL ratings are sometimes not the same as the feedback from real people who've stayed there. As we travel we always pick up the state park directories as we enter a new state. Lately we've also just been doing a Google map search for the area we are interested in and putting in "campground" after the city. sometimes we come up with places not listed in any other resource. In our experience, everyone develops their own personal methodology. Good luck,

We use "Camping with the Corps of Engineers"  by S.L. Hinkle.  I thinking Camping World carries it.

Corps of Engineers campgrounds are generally very nice, clean facilities with limited hookups.  The ones near us here in Florida offer electric and water hookups and there is a dump station available as well.  They are also usually near a body of water and interesting things like locks and dams.
