Less than "Complete" April 16, 2004
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I eagerly opened this book after buying it, only to be very disappointed. Looking at the maps, the index, and the references to the national park system, I could find no mention at all of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. That seems very odd, because Pictured Rocks has several campgrounds, and one might think a "complete" guide would at least cover what the NPS has to offer. Other errors and omissions include maps that incorrectly identify the locations of Twin Lakes State Park and FJ McLain State Park (the former is shown southwest of Mass City when it is actually 15 miles northeast, while the latter is shown at Copper Harbor when it is actually 50 miles to the southwest), as well as the absence of the Ottawa National Forest campgrounds directly accessible from US 45 north of Watersmeet. These are just a few problems in one limited geographical area of Upper Michigan with which I happen to have a little bit of familiarity. If I have to rely on my own travels and experiences to fill in the gaps and inaccuracies in this supposedly "complete" guide, how useful will it be with regard to those areas of which I have no prior knowledge?
