Cool Camping Europa

Camping is no longer boring. Get out into nature, no desire for air conditioning and breakfast buffets. On weekends just outside the city, on vacation in another country, at the beach, in the woods, on a meadow at a farm—it's not wild camping, but it's free, sleeping under the starry sky in special places and waking up in the morning dew. This book heralds a new era of camping for a new generation.

80 sensational camping spots across Europe, from Berlin Mitte (Tentstation, in a decommissioned outdoor pool just 5 minutes from the main train station) to Antiparos, from Seefeld on Lake Constance to Glavotok in Croatia, on an island off Peniche in Portugal that can only be reached by fishing boat, in a tipi in Folbeix, France, right in front of the Eiger North Face. The young Cool Camping editorial team has only included places that meet their own (and subjective) standards. In Belgium, they write, they simply couldn't find a good camping spot that matched their vision, so that area remains blank on the map. We personally check hundreds of camping spots and campsites; only the best make it into the book. We do not judge the locations by the number of showers or power outlets. We are interested in the location, the view, the atmosphere, the surrounding area, and even the philosophy of the owners or operators. We seek the immeasurable mix that transforms an ordinary campsite into a magical, special place where one can pitch a tent.
