New Kindle and Nook Versions Make It Easy To Find Peaceful Campsites in Mammoth Lakes, Death Valley, and the Eastern Sierra

Gardnerville, Nev.—The Kindle and Nook versions of the bestselling book Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy are now available, allowing visitors to choose the best campsites at campgrounds in Mammoth Lakes, Convict Lake, Tuolumne Meadows, Death Valley, and beyond. The book allows campers who like privacy when they’re camping in the Eastern Sierra to instantly know exactly which campsites are the most private on recreation.gov, reserveamerica.com, or in first-come, first-served campgrounds. Whether campers enjoy being surrounded by willows or aspens, don’t want to have their stargazing ruined by other campers’ lights, or prefer to camp as far away as possible from rowdy neighbors, Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy: Your Guide To The Most Private Campsites Near Mammoth Lakes, Tuolumne Meadows, Death Valley, And Beyond will help visitors choose the perfect campsite. The paperback version spent several months as the #1 bestseller in the Death Valley category on Amazon.

Gardnerville author Kimberly Wilkes and photographer Patrick Wilkes published the book after looking at 3,416 campsites in 91 campgrounds, including Hope Valley Resort, Convict Lake Campground, Tuolumne Meadows, the campgrounds in Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Lee Vining Canyon, Bishop Creek Canyon, Twin Lakes (Bridgeport), Rock Creek Canyon, Whitney Portal, Grandview Campground near the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, and Death Valley.

Each campsite with privacy mentioned in the book includes a description so campers will know exactly what the campsite is like. The authors also ranked each campsite in the book from A+ to C+, based on the site’s privacy. In addition, the book describes each campground as a whole, as well as activities and restaurants that are located nearby. For most of the campgrounds, it also lists whether Verizon cell phone service is available.

“In publishing this book, we’ve found a niche that no one has filled,” Kimberly Wilkes said. “To our knowledge, no other travel guide has done what we’ve done. There is at least one other book that talks about the privacy of the campground as a whole, but no other book actually describes and rates individual campsites based on their privacy.”

The book is the ultimate Death Valley, Eastern Sierra, and Mammoth Lakes camping guide. On recreation.gov or reserveamerica.com, it’s not easy to know exactly which campsites have the most privacy. Although campers can visit websites that show photos of camp spaces, it’s impossible to tell from the images how close the site is to its neighbor. With Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy, campers will find out exactly which campsites have plenty of elbowroom or are hidden away behind trees, willows, and vegetation. Using the book to make reservations means there’s less of a chance campers will feel disappointed when they pull into a spot that wasn’t what they expected.

The travel guide, the first in a series, also helps people who are seeking a first-come, first-served campsite discover which campgrounds have the best selection of private spots so they can beat the crowds to the choice campsites, which is especially important on a busy Friday or before holidays when visitors are pouring into the campgrounds. Knowing in advance which campground has the best selection of private spaces means there will be less time wasted driving around in search of a site.

In addition, Eastern Sierra visitors and residents alike can use the book to find new campgrounds to explore in Mammoth Lakes, Tuolumne Meadows, Hope Valley, Convict Lake, Lone Pine, and other areas of the Eastern Sierra and Death Valley they haven’t previously visited. It also points out spaces that are especially suitable for RVs, such as sites with pull-through driveways. The paperback book features black and white photographs of select campsites. The newly released Kindle and Nook versions feature color photos on color compatible devices.

Kimberly Wilkes was inspired to write a series of books about camping with privacy after reserving a spot on recreation.gov at Big Pine Creek Campground. The online map made it appear as if it was far from its neighbors, but when she checked into the campsite she realized it wasn’t as far away from a nearby camp space as it appeared on the map. It was also located in a meadow in clear view of its nearest neighbor.

“I’ve also camped too close to people who talked loudly into the night,” Wilkes said. “We wrote this book so that other campers are less likely to have those same experiences and so that they can easily find a campsite that makes them happy.”

The authors also have a blog at www.ilovetheeasternsierra.com, where they write about scenic spots, Eastern Sierra and Mammoth Lakes camping, and hikes away from the crowds. The blog also spotlights the fun and interesting people and attractions that make the area a special place, such as the giant cow statue on the road from Las Vegas to Death Valley.

Kimberly and Patrick Wilkes are a husband and wife team. Kimberly is a freelance writer and the author of The Indestructible Relationship, which the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition named the best non-fiction eBook of 2012. Patrick Wilkes is a professional photographer whose year-long exhibit, “The Four Seasons of Pyramid Lake,” appeared at the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Museum and Visitor Center from 2013 to 2014.

The Kindle and paperback versions of Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy are available on Amazon.com. It’s also available as a paperback and on the Nook at Barnes and Noble. In addition, Sundance Books in Reno, Shelby’s Book Shoppe in Minden, Booky Joint in Mammoth Lakes, Spellbinder Books and Range and River Books in Bishop, and other bookstores throughout the Eastern Sierra carry Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy.
