5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Camping: France, 10 April 2008
By Rosie Archer "Rosie" (Newport, South Wales) - See all my reviews
I love this book!

It's full of variety, from staying in tipis in central france, to lush open spaces where you can pitch your tent by the sea. There are loads of gorgeous photos that make you want to be outside, and the reviews are personal and funny which is a refreshing change from the soulless camping / carvanning guides out there. There's also extra practical info like 'food and drink' recommendations and options of other places to stay 'if it's full', really handy if you've not done much research before heading off.

Would definitely recommend this book to anyone. I was a hotel comforts girl, but now I'm a camping convert, and off to France this summer!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but limited, 3 April 2009
By Dr. G. Hopkin (Manchester, Near Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The campsites featured in this book are, or at least appear to be, very good. The presentation style is easy to follow and all the necessary info is given. BUT... The campsites are spaced out and large areas of the country are left unrepresented. For example, the north coast of Brittany and the Cherbourg penninsula.

If you have a lot of flexibility in your destination, then this may be the book for you. If you have a good idea where you want to be staying, then this book may not actually help at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real eye-opener, 14 April 2008
By Booky Brian Barstow (London England) - See all my reviews
I picked this book up more out of curiosity and a certain nostalgia for childhood camping trips than any real interest but quickly found myself thinking `I want to go there...and there...AND there...AND THERE!' There are some really interesting places in the book - not just glam camping stuff like tipis and yurts but honest-to-God, back to nature sites that remind you of what camping ought to be like. Really good photography and quirky (sometimes a bit too quirky?) writing make it a real eye-opener. Can't wait for summer and a ferry over to France!
