Box 204, Dept. GC1, Chantilly, Va. 22021. Woodall's North American edition can be ordered by sending a check for $12.30, which includes postage and handling, to Woodall's North American Campground Directory, 500 Hyacinth Place, Highland Park, 111. 60035. • Contact state campground associa­ tions.

A list of state travel directors can be obtained by writing to the Travel Industry Association, 1899 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. • When contacting city chambers of commerce for travel and tourism in­ formation, specifically request informa­ tion on camping in their areas. Most will have a list of local campgrounds readily available. • Contact individual parks or forests or other public lands for campgrounds within their boundaries and those near­ by. • The American Automobile Associa­ tion (AAA) will provide its members with free camping books as well as travel guides upon request. • RV and camping clubs provide their members with campground information as well as other information and tips on camping.
