Goodnight, Campsite: A children's Book on Camping Featuring RVs, Travel Trailers, Fifth-Wheels, Pop-UPs and Other Camper Options. Kindle Edition

"Goodnight, Campsite" is an award-winning children's book on camping, featuring more than tents. Our book highlights RVs - Travel Trailers, Fifth-Wheels, Pop-Ups, Class A, Class C, and other camper options. The perfect gift for RVers, especially those looking for kids camping books or camping books for toddlers. “Goodnight, Campsite” is set in a beautiful nature park, and the story follows visitors as they explore the park during the day (hiking, biking, fishing, etc.), and then returns with them to their campsite at night. There is an emphasis on RVs, which sets this title apart from other camping books on the market, which only feature tents. Preschool-aged children will love the beautiful and colorful pictures – and searching for the squirrel hiding in the pictures. Rhyming text will keep children engaged, as they build sound associations and phonemic skills. Also included in the book is a Campsite Bingo game! We know there are lots of children's books about camping out there, and we are honored that you are considering "Goodnight, Campsite." Children love books, almost as much as they love camping! Let's get outside and make some memories. See you on the trails! Loretta Sponsler

Review

Story Monster Ink - Book Review by: Darleen Wohlfeil
Fresh air, campfires, and starry skies make for happy summers and childhood memories. Goodnight, Campsite brings to life all the fun that's tucked away in campgrounds all across the land. Adventures waiting to be explored for young and old alike. It seems the air is alive, and breathing is a little easier. Smells and sounds mingle as they waft overhead from campsite to campsite. Yet, as I would sit and take in my surroundings, as I listened
in the night, there was always one common sound that rose in every campsite: laughter. Goodnight, Campsite stirs the mind and brings hopes of excitement alive. Happy Camping

From the Author

What sets the book apart:  While tent camping books abound, children's books highlighting RVs are few and far between, and there is a real need in the market.

Perfect for my almost 3 year old's first time RV camping
5 Stars
Perfect for my almost 3 year old's first time RV camping
This was given to me when my son was born from my friend, Krista, who knows Loretta. We don't have an RV but for the first time camped with my two kids in one....my oldest being 2.5. We got this book out for his nighttime reading and he was entranced and loved that the RV looked just like our friend's Minnie Winnie we were using. I love this book as it shows camping from many points of view! He was entranced and we enjoyed reading it at night!

Do you like to go camping? Do you use a tent or sleep under the stars?

The author, Loretta Sponsler, has written such a fun book about camping. The highlight of this camping trip is Big Meadow Campground. Everyone wants to come to this lovely place to camp. Familiescwith children come to camp, grandparents come to camp in their new big travel trailer, married men have a guy's weekend and come to ride bikes and camp. Hikers come, those who have been hiking fir a lovely big time, they make camp. Eat a lot and go right to sleep. Boy Scouts come to camp. They help maintain the trails and work hard. They have franks and grabs for dinner. When you read this book you will discover who comes to the campground, what they do, and what they eat"

The author has written a book that all children will like, and their parents will have fun reading this book. The illustrations by Olga Shevchenko, are bright, colorful and so well done. They give the reader a perfect picture of camping life. Every child reading this book will have questions about camping, and all the activities and the yummy food to eat. A perfectly fun time.

I ordered 4 copies of this cute book to give as Christmas gifts to my friends' kids; however, when my family saw the book this past weekend they loved it so much I ended up giving them all of the copies I had. So, I will definitely be purchasing more copies now! This book's fun rhyming text and colorful illustrations do a wonderful job of capturing the varied experiences, adventures, and beauty of camping. My family, kids and adults alike, love this book and can't wait to play Campsite Bingo (found at the end of the book) on our next camping trip. This book will have a special place in our camper!

Super cute book The story had nice rhymes and covered many different angles of camping. It wasn't as short and simple as the goodnight Moon book. and that isn't a bad thing I was actually glad there was more of a story to it. The seniors, the scout groups, the getaways. I read it to four and five-year-olds and they enjoyed it. I would recommend it🙂

I liked the premise to this book, especially for children who like camping or adventure or who are going camping for the first time. However, I found some of the prose layout and artwork to be awkward to read/view. However this story did come with a Campsite BINGO game that I feel is an excellent learning/observation tool for kids and parents alike. I would give this story 3.5 stars if available.

This Christmas, we were camping near San Francisco and there was a cute couple with three adorable boys parked next to us. This book was advertised on a bumper sticker on the back of their RV. I ordered the book from the car on our way home. I wished I would have noticed the sticker earlier as I think it might have been the author and her family! Was I right? If so, your boys were so well behaved and our boys had a blast playing and shooting Nerf guns with them! This book is so cute! It describes the many different groups of campers one might see. The pictures are fun and colorful. My youngest read this for his first reading log after winter break.

5.0 out of 5 stars Camping fun for everyone
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021

This Big Meadow campsite sounds like a lot of fun, except maybe for the backpacking, as the backpackers go on a 3-week hike. After college I went with 9 friends on white-water canoe trip and spent 5 days on the river, and believe me, that was plenty. After a couple of days, you get pretty grungy and you quickly get tired of sleeping in a tent. Not sure there are any kids who want to go on a hike of that length. But I am sure they would enjoy the other activities.

'This book is super fantastic because I thought that the squirrel would put the hat on the moon, but the squirrel was fast asleep and the girls and boys were in their camp with their parents.
I liked the book because it was really, really, really fantastic.' This is what my son had to say.

It's a wonderful book to show children the joy of being around nature and outdoors.
