(More customer reviews)We used this book to find motorhome camping sites in July 2009. The book contains loads of sites, but there are many, many more not listed. We travelled with 5 books (most borrowed) and found this book to be one of the more complete ones. No single book or website lists all the thousands of camping sites in Europe.
The book can be a bit cumbersome to use but nearly all camping books are like this. To find a site near a selected location, look at the whole county map at the rear of the book, locate the town/vicinity (only main town names are printed), find the camp site name, and go to an index to find the page number for the listing. Or you can go straight to the index if you know the name of the site. Or go to the main listings which are arranged by region and town; keep in mind many camp sites may not be listed under the town name you'd expect if they are on the town outskirts. Decriptions of camp sites are short but there are e-mail addresses and URLs for doing advance planning/bookings. (In contrast, the book European Camping by Mike & Terry Church gives much more detail for site descriptions and includes maps for on how to get there, but lists only a small number of sites near the largest towns. The booklet provided by Camping Card International when you buy a camping carnet card gives only sites offering discounts-- presents a country map, an address, and website URL). But most camp sites have municipal signs posted so the lack of maps/directions in Camping & Caravaning Europe was usually not a major problem.
This is good book to have along on your trip. We sure to also bring road maps. A GPS is very helpful, though do not rely soley on it-- look at printed maps too! Europe is on a major road constructioon binge with new highways constructed so the directions provided by some campsites are now invalid, plus rural locations are not always mapped by the GPS.
