Tom Stienstra Outdoors

What sets you free? Hike. Bike. Camp. Fish. Boat. Wildlife watch. Explore.

Find the answers in my guidebooks.

Set yourself free.

One example — how to make these books work: The Forest Service provides 800 campgrounds in California across 20 million acres of national forest, and another 900 in Oregon and Washington, which adds up to roughly 1,700 campgrounds on 200 Forest Service districts in the Western U.S.  Hundreds are off the reservation grid, first-come, first served, and set at lakes, streams and trailheads. When state and national parks are full, this is how you can find a campsite.

Only Moon California Camping and Moon Pacific Northwest Camping detail all the sites and makes them easy to find with mapping and numbered geographical listings, and can save you from ever getting stuck for a spot!

“Once you travelled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.” – Pat Conroy

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
