Cool Camping: England

Jonathan Knight £14.95

The title is an unintended double entendre, but this coffee table book masquerading as a guide book is an interesting twist: camping sites that are 'cool' attractions in themselves. Be it they are in unique locations, have stupendous views or have the quirk factor - like the chance to camp out in a Mongolian Yurt in Dorset: Jonathan Knight has hand picked only the very best places for the canvas community to convene.

Stunning pictures hold up the coffee table end of the bargain and make you want to run out the door with tent under arm immediately, while the break out boxes hold up the guide book duties with upsides, downsides, costs, facilities and the nearest decent pub. Possibly could have included child specific attractions but it does suggest where to head if it rains and local alternatives should the spot be full. Cool eh?
