Product Description
Product Description
This best-selling travel guide gets a complete update in a fully revised Second Edition. Now covering 70 of the very best campsites in England including 35 brand new entries, it's essential reading for contemporary campers. As before, it features the pick of campsites and camping experiences across England, and presents in-depth reviews, practical info and plenty of inspirational colour photos for every site. For this edition, original author Jonathan Knight has overseen a team of 6 travel writers. Between them, they have visited over 500 campsites, travelled thousands of miles and lost at least half a dozen tent pegs in the search for England's coolest sites. New entries include a quirky sea-view site at Lizard Point, a retro-kitsch caravan park in Yorkshire and a Dorset farm with castle views.For each campsite, you'll find all the essential info that other guides leave out, including 'Nearest Decent Pub' and 'If It Rains' entries and new for this edition, a food and drink category to guide you to the best quality local produce and unusual gastronomic treats. 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.

This is great! We were camping up around the lake district and it directed us to some superb little-used spots. It also has excellent suggestions for eating/drinking etc near each campsite and/or warnings if there's a bit of a walk. We definitely found a few gems (like the Drunken Duck!). It covers 40 campsites across England (each one gets a page or two, and some lovely photographs so you can see what you're getting) - not a huge amount of choice, but as it says itself it "features a hand-picked selection", and seemingly they visited hundreds of camp sites across England to find this list of 40, and i'd much prefer that to a huge list of ones where you turn up and are disappointed.
Something that i found a huge advantage, but that you might find a disadvantage is that they're NOT looking for "holiday park" type camp grounds - their (and my) idea of hell. so the ones listed here will be beautiful , or quirky, or in a brilliant location ... but they won't have lots of swimming pools and hi-de-hi activities etc.
The only (small) disadvantage is, although the directions to/from the campsites are detailed, it wasn't great with directions to some of the "nearby food/amenites" locations - but it does give phone numbers so you can ring and find out if you want to (i suppose it saved space).
Bottom line - i've just now discovered on Amazon (sorry - i originally bought cool camping : england in a little camping shop!) that there are companion guides to wales etc ... and I'm going straight out to put them in the shopping basket!

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.

Excellent book if you want to camp in a wild and non -production-line place where you wont see rows of identical tents. The selection of campsites are in mouth-wateringly beautiful locations or quirky, or both and are tempting enough to get you out of your snug b& b and into some real countryside in the UK at it's best.

Cool camping England
This is a great series. My only worry is that the more people who know about these wonderful campsites the less wonderful they may become!
