For most people, the attraction of camping is to escape urban life: to get outdoors, enjoy the countryside and breathe lungfuls of good, wholesome fresh air. Dispensing with our modern luxuries, if only for a weekend, is a refreshing and invigorating experience. But finding an idyllic countryside escape is not easy, especially when many campsites are being developed into commercial holiday parks. That’s where Cool Camping comes in.
Above all, writing these books really just gives us an excuse to go camping. And now you have a copy of Cool Camping in your hands, you have a very good excuse too. See you out there…

To us, Cool Camping is all about camping in very special places and this book, along with the other titles in the series, is a guide to help you find those places.
We personally inspect hundreds of campsites, but only the very best make it into our books. More importantly, we don’t judge sites on the number of showers or electricity hook-ups. We’re more interested in the location, the view, the ambience, the surrounding area – even the philosophy and attitude of the owners. We’re looking at the almost immeasurable combination of factors that transforms a place from a mere campsite into a very special place to camp.
“proof that the age of dull, dreary camping is finished forever.”
