Menasha Ridge Press :: Camping :: The Best in Tent Camping: Oregon, 2nd ed.

The Best in Tent Camping: Oregon, 2nd ed.

From rocky coastlines to sagebrush deserts, camping in Oregon has never been better. The Best in Tent Camping: Oregon is a guidebook for tent campers who like quiet, scenic, and serene campsites. It's the perfect resource if you 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 a convoy of RVs.

You’ll find essential information about each campground (including season, facilities, rates, directions, GPS coordinates, and Web sites), as well as a description of the campground, the best sites, and nearby activities such as hiking, canoeing, fishing, and mountain biking. The guide covers well-known parks as well as some campgrounds that are local secrets, which you might not find on any Internet search.

About Paul Gerald and Jeanne Louise Pyle
Paul Gerald's writing career began in the sports department of the much-missed Dallas Times Herald. He later worked for the Memphis Commercial Appeal and the Memphis Flyer before setting out as a freelancer. Since then, he has written some 300 travel articles for the Flyer, and along the way his work has also appeared in Northwest Airlines' WorldTraveler, Portland’s Willamette Week, Dish Magazine, Nike. com, Weissmann Travel Reports, and numerous newspapers around the country. He's also worked in and around landscaping, restaurants, public relations, social work, an amusement park, Alaskan fishing boats, the YMCA, corporate marketing, and most recently as a package handler for FedEx. Such is the life of a writer who really, really wants to avoid having a regular job. His hiking life started at age 12, when he went to a summer camp in the Absoraka Mountains of Wyoming. He became a trail and road hound at that point, and his hometown of Memphis never looked the same. He's hiked extensively in the Rocky Mountains from New Mexico to Montana, as well as Appalachia, Alaska, Nepal, and Argentina. In 1996 he moved to Portland to be close to the ocean, the mountains, and the big trees. He has greatly enjoyed meeting people using his books out on the trails; he's also grateful that none of them appeared to be lost or angry. He does hope, however, that any feedback will be directed to him, care of the publisher, or at www.paulgerald.com. And he hopes people will continue to enjoy and benefit from the fruits of his labor. Jeanne Louise Pyle is a transplanted Marylander who has lived in the Pacific Northwest for nearly 30 years. She has worked exclusively in the book and magazine publishing industries, wearing many hats -- from publisher to sales rep to author. Her love of the outdoors led to authoring the first edition of The Best in Tent Camping series 10 years ago, and she is proud that this unique guide continues to lead campers to new and interesting discoveries in Washington and Oregon. Pyle currently resides in Bellingham, Washington, conveniently equidistant between her two favorite cities -- Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia.
