The handy 'At A Glance' section allows you to easily identify the campsites you like, by browsing categories including 'Cool For Campfires', 'Family Friendly', 'Romantic Retreats', 'Lakeside Chilling' and 'Surf's Up'. This new edition confirms Cool Camping as the first-choice guidebook for contemporary campers. Other books in the series include France, Wales, Scotland and the Cool Camping Cookbook.

"I tried vainly to mis-spend my youth at dozens of the grimmest, soggiest campsites in the land. With the help of Jonathan Knight’s brilliant compilation of canvas, I’m heading back to basics – but trying to get it right this time."
Simon Calder
Travel Editor, The Independent
