5.0 out of 5 stars European Camping Made Easy, June 22, 2000

By	Robin (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews

My husband and I have used this book on numerous camping excursions while living in Europe this past year. The guide is well written, with good descriptions and useful information. Camp-sights are easy to find with clear directions. Prices and ammenities are listed, using easy-to-read symbols. A brief section also outlines nearby sights and recreation, as well as access to public transportation into cities. European camping is a wonderful way to explore the continent on a budget and the campgrounds are unlike anything in the States. This book is an essential tool for camping in Europe!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, great book for Europe camping, November 29, 2003

By	"bigwhitewhale" (Livingston, TX, United States) - See all my reviews

Traveler's Guide to European Camping is an excellent resource for RV travel and camping in Europe. The writers of this book have done a lot of work researching campgrounds, which made planning for my European vacation so much easier. The authors are the experts on European camping; the introductory chapters explain the options available for camping in Europe including possible ways to obtain an RV, describe what to expect in European campgrounds, and provide details on related topics such as money, electrical appliances, laundry and fuel. They also provide an excellent website, www.rollinghomes.com, which has links to many other sites concerning European travel.

The remaining chapters provide informative introductions for each country or region and detailed information on at least one campground for each major city. The authors have selected the best campgrounds for tourists and have described the facilities and amenities, provided detailed directions for locating the campgrounds, and also have suggestions for sightseeing. I especially liked the information provided for using public transportation from the campgrounds, and the directions allowed me to easily locate the campgrounds even with inadequate signs.

I used this book to travel for four months while staying in campgrounds and will use it again to travel in Europe without the frustration of reading foreign-language campground lists, getting hopelessly lost trying to find campgrounds, and not knowing the approximate price and campground amenities before arrival.

Using campgrounds is a wonderful way to travel in Europe and this book, packed with information and travel tips, is indispensable.

2.0 out of 5 stars NO GOOD FOR SNOWBIRDS, April 14, 2002

By	Flavio E. R. Silva "[e-mail]" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is nice, with accurate information and reviews of the campgrounds with good information on how to find them.
However, it's of no use for snowbirds and winter campers, due to a total lack of information on all-year camps and winter activities. Also, the book points usually just one campground in each location, not giving you room for alternatives.
Anyway, if you plan a trip from March through October, it's a good buy.
