Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A great idea, but....A book of out of the way, out of the ordinary camping is a terrific idea, which is why I bought the book. Many of the sites featured look amazing, and they have all been personally 'road-tested' by the CC crew. So far so very good. However there is a (quite a big in my view) downside in that although there is on the surface a large choice of sites, in reality this amounts to an average of less than four sites in each of the 23 counties/regions represented. So if you want to use this to plan a trip, rather than take it with you, then its really good and will get you to some really interesting off-the-beaten-track places (and I do intend to try some of them out), but much less use as something you carry around in your panniers or ... Read More: Rating:  - Great revision of this essential camping guideGreat 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. Rating: - Good but missing out informationThis is a well researched book and excellent in many ways. Sadly it's let down by missing out a major piece of information (for lots of people) at each campsite - whether or not dogs are allowed. Actually it does state this for the Fieldhead Site at Edale but neglects it at all the others, simply a weird ommission. I'm also amazed that there is not one campsite listed along the easterly section between Norfolk and North Yorkshire. A similar thing between the westerly section of Shrewsbury and the Lakes - nothing whatsoever! There are some beautiful photographs but nothing to say where they are. For instance there's a fantastic view of a magnificent beach in the opening pages (Cornwall) but it doesn't say the name of the ... Read More: Rating: - Great gemsThis 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 ... Read More: Rating: - 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 ...
