In 2002, the double set of "Shoestring" books were merged with "Guide to Free Campgrounds," and since then, Cottage Publications has produced eastern and western editions of the free-campgrounds book and included campgrounds with fees of $12 or less. The current 12th editions feature more than 14,000 free and low-cost campgrounds!
Along the way, the company added its popular and controversial, "How to Buy an RV and Save Thousands" as well as a series of books written by veteran RV educator, columnist and humorist Bill Farlow and Bill Cima's groundbreaking "Rest Area Guide to the United States and Canada."
About a dozen years ago, Cottage introduced another new title , "Camping with the Corps of Engineers," and that book became an immediate overwhelming success.
Cottage Publications continues to grow and expand its list of titles. The "Rest Area Guide" is in the process of being updated, expanded and retitled and will soon appear with the new title, "Rest Areas and Dump Stations of America."
