Just what I've been wating for!
A couple of years back after hours spent driving around to find a campsite, I finally had to admit defeat and plump for the one with rows and rows of caravans -my worst nightmare! Now there is Cool Camping. Finally a resource for like-minded campers who want something a little bit special. Incredibly informative with beautiful pictures that give a taster of the sites. I love it that much I have bought the guides to Scotland & England too.

Very cool!
After many years of Eurocamp holidays in France when our children were younger, we started to think about getting our own tent and heading off to more interesting places here in the UK as well as abroad. We have definitely had our fill of 'holiday camp' sites in France.

I would have to say that the Cool Camping books were what finally tipped us over the edge into getting fully equipped and heading off into the wilds. Talk about inspiration! These books are fantastic (we have the Wales and England books - both of which are great). We selected a great site on Pembrokeshire coast on the basis of Cool Camping's recommendation, and had a wonderful short break at the end of the school holidays.

What we love most about the books is the slightly bohemian, 'green' quirkiness of it all - from small 2-Teepee sites and classic Airflow motorhomes, through to sites at the most beautiful locations in Britain, all with a raw rustic edge that makes getting away from it all in a tent so invigorating compared to any other sort of holiday.

Get inspired - get Cool Camping!

Psssst, don't tell anyone!
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 to select your campsites by location or by category ("Cool for campfires", "Beach within reach" and so on) or you can just flick through and choose whichever takes your fancy! As well as facts about the campsites themselves, each entry contains information about the surrounding area, and our Cool Camping doubles up as a guidebook for places we aren't even staying in.

Since we purchased Cool Camping Wales (along with its England and Scotland companions) we wouldn't be without it when choosing our next destination and have stayed in some delightful sites in Pembrokeshire and Cornwall. The only problem is, once you've been there you might want to buy up all the existing copies of Cool Camping so no-one else finds out about them!
