Would like to buy a book that shows UK campsites and there are so many on Amazon that my head spun.

Can anyone recommend a book that I could buy showing good sites for tents in the UK.

Thank you!

Why use a book when you have the most comprehensive listing available on this website

Just choose the area and print out the pages.

you get a book from the caravanning and camplin club but i found this website brilliant. and if you ask for advice in the forums on the area you want and what you need to be near (beach, etc) you will get lots of great advice

Another thumbs up for this site! The wealth of information in the listings, plus the extra support of the forums really make most of the directory type books redundant! 

The only books I would recommend personally would be the Cool Camping ones, which are more like 'coffee table' books which highlight campsites that offer something a little bit different..great photography too!

Hi

If you have to buy a book, which is nice if you want to take it with you for touring i would go for the cades. As far a i can gather most books are just paid for ads but the Cades book reviews are not paid for. This would seem to me a better way of getting an honest opinion.

Again this site has great honest reviews.

Cheers everyone for your replies.

I will definitely use this site to research where to go and also the forum to get opinions and reviews, but think I'll invest in the Cades too.  I'm a bit of a bookworm and like to have paper to flick through.  Off to the Amazon site now to buy it!!!
