Camping: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Started on your First Camping Trip Paperback – September 20, 2014

This interesting and informative book by Beth McRoberts contains valuable information for those who have a desire to go camping but weren’t sure how to go about it. She tells you the different places to camp, what you need to take with you, what foods are good for the campfire, including recipes, the best ways to keep comfortable, and the kind of activities to do. She even includes first-aid tips, ways to keep the kids busy and having fun, plus much more. This book is a must read for those planning to take a camping trip, especially for the first-time campers.

Camping remains one of those activities that no one should partake for first time blindly. For the most part, this book nicely guides beginners along the path to camping. It’s almost comprehensive as a starter-kit, although I note the lack of the words ‘map’ and ‘compass.’ Also, this book doesn’t emphasize the importance of knowing one’s surroundings adequately. I also found the concept of anyone bringing a welcome mat for their campsite ridiculous, but that may just be due to the fact that I’m an outdoors idealist and consider RVs absurd. Still, I recommend this book for camping novices, but not for the experienced.

If you are truly a newbie to tent camping, this is a great basic quick read. Good advice, simple fast read so you can hit the campsite well prepared. I wished it was a bit longer but the author hit all the major areas.

Nice basic primer on camping. Very friendly style of presenting her topics. Fun informative style of writing. Especially liked the limited list of stuff to bring.

Best book ever it is amazing buy this if you want to go camping it's amazing don't be like i can just go online to find stuff I did that for 5 weeks and found a lot and I looked at this and found more then I found online Best 2.99 I've ever spent.

Only good for those who know nothing about camping. Very short, with little in-depth information. Only read this if you've never camped before and want very basic information. I suppose that's why it's called "101"!

Nice short guide for beginner campers. Most of what is here is also in most online guides, but for those who prefer books, here it is! I used it to help construct my pre-camping shopping list.

I think calling this a book is quite a stretch! It's a 16 page pamphlet and equipped with a very large font and pictures. Feeling cheated out f 10 bucks.

Excellent.
