Pottsy said:Just interested how people go about finding a campsite when touring. Guide books, maps, tourist information, GPS, internet or just make it up as you go along?
Recommendations appreciated bearing in mind the cost and not wanting to carry a heavy guide book for every country.
Oh and a similar question about hostels.
Thanks in advance.
In many western european countries, newsagents often stock a cheap camping guide that lists mosts of the campsites. The only downside is that they weigh a pound or so. But unless you have GPS and a WiFi or 3G roaming internet connection, they are the only way of knowing where the campsites are in advance.
Or just rely on local knowledge. If you know the language you can always ask.
