About the author
Allan C. Clark has camped since childhood and has picked up a vast store of knowledge about nearly every style of camping. Although a veteran tent camper, he now enjoys adventuring in an RV. Mr. Clark has written two articles for "RV Consumer Magazine" on the subjects of drinking water filtration and on camp hosts. Allan volunteered as a camp host at a Maryland State Park as well as at Shenandoah National Park. Now Allan C. Clark has created a guide that is useful for both the novice and the seasoned camper. Among the pages of instruction and advice are anecdotes of personal experiences, often illustrating how to avoid problems or how to deal with them.
