.Cool Camping: England (Cool Camping)
City Travel Guides > Books > Camping and Caravanning
by: Jonathan Knight, Paul Marsden, Andy Stothert

April 28, 2008
Great revision of this essential camping guide. Now it features more
campsites across England (70 rather than the original 40), and some of the
originals have been substituted, not sure why? The photos are still first
class and the expanded 'handy information' gives a neat little overview of
what to do and where to eat & drink we loved a secret little locals pub
right on the beach in Dorset, recommended in the guide. The write-up and
information for the campsites are accurate, and the authors seem to favour
the kind of campsites I prefer - small ones with personality, rather than
the large, static caravan type. All in all another great guide from the
dependable Cool Camping dudes.

When my book came through the post and flicked through the pages, I actually started juming about and screaming!!! The pictures are so amazing. I was in so much excitement about the holiday I am going on this summer. I am going cycle touring in France, and this book is going to become my bible. Infact I was so impressed by it, I planned my whole route so that I could pick up as many campsites as possible. Trust me, the campsites are totally stunning, well thats if you think stunning is beautiful, rural, and peaceful campsites with breath taking views!

.Cool Camping Scotland: A Hand Picked Selection of Exceptional Campsites and Camping Experiences
City Travel Guides > Books > Camping and Caravanning
by: Robin McKelvie, Jenny McKelvie

You will love this book when it arrives. It is great to look at and involving to read, but the problems arise when you actually come to use it as a camping guide. The accounts are too subjective and seem to be based on a very particular and personal takes on the sites. Those at Arisaig for example are talked up as the amongst the finest in Scotland. When we were there they were crowded out with motorhomes running generators and the sunsets were somewhat spoiled by the portable television aerials. There was no room left for tents. There were other sites in the area which were not mentioned, but which did have room for tents and which seemed to be at least as good as though in the guide. I have no idea how or why the selections were made. And why ... Read More:

.Cool Camping Wales: A Hand Picked Selection of Exceptional Campsites and Camping Experiences
City Travel Guides > Books > Camping and Caravanning
by: Jonathan Knight

April 01, 2007
Around three years ago my partner and I decided to go camping in Wales, revisiting a site he had stayed at many years ago. It turns out that we were cool even then, but didn't know it. After many enjoyable visits we began to consider the possibility of going to ... other sites. But where to start? A few tentative searches on the internet and a leaf through the Rough Guide confirmed our suspicions. We were cowards. What we wanted was for someone to nudge us in the ribs and point us towards campsites with stunning views, friendly owners and like-minded souls. And tell us what we could do if it rained. And give us a sneak preview of the place whilst not spoiling too much.

Well, Cool Camping does just that. The first few pages allow you ... Read More:

Camping is a somewhat re-visited activity and, over the years, I'm used to 'AA' books, which are, generally, reliable and offer a list of places to troll through, so I grabbed the book off the shelf without really looking at it! Fool that I am.


Now, this is a book, right?... and you are meant to be able to read it easily, right?... OK, yes I wear 'readers' but the print is still somewhat small and the font could have been better, but my gripe is with the symbols for what each site offers...they are truly small and difficult to distinguish, especially in low light. The symbols are the key and worth a thousand words, so should be crystal! AND...what about dogs?...OK it has a symbol for 'dog exercise area', so one assumes dogs are welcome ... Read More:

.Cool Camping Cookbook (Cool Camping)
City Travel Guides > Books > Camping and Caravanning
by: Tom Tuke-Hastings, Jonathan Knight

July 15, 2007
This is such a cute little book! the recipes aren't really hi-tec or anything but it tells you how to build a fire and gives you checklists for equipment and stuff, which is good if you've never been camping before. and it's got lots of yum stuff i never would have thought of, like cooking roast chicken or this omlette with strawberries in. Theer are other harder recipes, but I preferd the easy, messy stuff which involves stuffing things on sticks! And barbecue stuff is well-covered too. The pictures look good but not fake, and the words are quite quirky and funny, made me laugh anyway, which i wasn't expecting. glad i bought it... might spur me on to cook a bit more outdoors instead of heading to the pub...
