a word of caution.....

Customer Rating:

You will love this book when it arrives. It is great to look at and involving to read, but the problems arise when you actually come to use it as a camping guide. The accounts are too subjective and seem to be based on a very particular and personal takes on the sites. Those at Arisaig for example are talked up as the amongst the finest in Scotland. When we were there they were crowded out with motorhomes running generators and the sunsets were somewhat spoiled by the portable television aerials. There was no room left for tents. There were other sites in the area which were not mentioned, but which did have room for tents and which seemed to be at least as good as though in the guide. I have no idea how or why the selections were made. And why no sites on the east coast at all? For information the number 1 site in the book closes this year, so be quick! It is a stunning setting. Overall a great book for inspiration and planning adventures by the winter fire - but if you want to actually have a good trip take another more mundane guide as well since this is something of a triumph of style over substance......... or maybe just take the mundane one........

Where can we go next?	Customer Rating:
I have been waiting all my life for a campsite book like this, not only is it aimed a people with tents it has the most beautiful pictures as well as useful information like nearest pub and whether or not we can have a campfire. Off to Red Squirrel next weekend, thank you Cool Camping!

Wonderful book

Have just purchased Cool Camping in Scotland and have spent the last two evenings deciding which wonderful site I will be spending my summer holidays at. This book is wonderfully presented with clear text and stunning photographs - I now want to vist all the sites mentioned! These are the kind of campsites I am looking for - not full of statics and vans but well laid-out sites with adequate facilities and spectacular sights to see. This is how I want to spend my camping trips and this book has opened a new part of Scotland to me. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to camp away from the 'holiday camp' options. It would be nice to see more sites in the East of Scotland but spoilt for choice in the North and West. Only small worry is that as the book becomed popular so will the featured sites - hey ho at least the scenery will still remain!

Just what I have been waiting for!	Customer Rating:
I love my Cool Camping books. I don't want a huge nasty caravan park with swimming pool, bar and a games room for the kids. I want to explore by day, then sit by the campfire in a stunning location or perhaps pop down to the village pub for a pint of the local brew. Cool camping helps me do just that. My only worry is they are giving away all my secret locations.
