What I Thought of Under the Stars USA
As most of you know I am getting ready to live a Nomad life. This book could not have come at a better time. While there were a couple of recognizable areas that everyone has heard of, it mostly consists of parks and areas that are far less known! I literally have an entire book that has just become a bucket list as I make my way across America.
The layout is great. It’s easy to find areas of the USA that you are interested in. Each area is packed full of information in a very easy-to-read uncluttered layout. Each section/region of the book includes a wealth of knowledge about the region, supplies you may need, budgeting tips, safety information, and the best nature escapes in the area. Each area/park highlighted in this book includes a blurb about the area, a small blurb on what makes it unique, the best time to visit, amenities, cost, and the URL of the area/parks website.
I can’t wait to use it as a travel guide!
Side note: When I received the book I went to Amazon to see what other books they have published and WOW! Y’all, even if you are not interested in this particular one, you HAVE to check out their other books!

I enjoyed reading your review of “Under the Stars: How America Fell in Love with Camping.” Your writing style is engaging and informative, and your personal anecdotes added a nice touch.
Looks like a great book! I wish I could join the giveaway but I am not in the United States right now. I will share this article with my cousin. He would love to get a copy of the book.
I would totally love this book! My dream… once we pay of our car… is for my husband to buy a truck and I am buying an RV and traveling the 48 continental United sates ;) I want to check out all of the hosts spots all over the US and blog about it!
It is great to hear that they highlighted some of the lesser known parks, for you to jot down for your journeys! Sounds like a really great book.
What a great book this sounds like. I’m looking forward to reading it.
Wonderful review – just the perfect info I love to use on our travels! Thanks!
