The ultimate guide for the budget-conscious traveller.
After the runaway success of three editions, Camps Australia Wide has produced their fourth edition, with more sites, informative symbols and in full colour. This edition is A4 in size, has 376 pages and has been revised and updated with over 3,100 sites.
Camps Australia Wide 4 includes the complete Hema Road Atlas, with the campsites positioned in their exact locations on the maps. As one person put it What a bonus. Two books in one so easy to reference.
This book is not just a guide to camping spots for certain areas, but encompasses the whole of Australia, showing rest areas, free camps, low-cost caravan parks, national parks, state forests, state parks and reserves.
Facilities at each site are depicted by symbols, including not only the standard ones, but those applicable to motorhomes, such as big rigs, maximum stay allowed, dump points, pets allowed, fees applicable. New descriptive icons include: close to road; pleasant outlook or vista; mobile phone coverage; dry weather access and author recommended sites. There are more sites with GPS co-ordinates, and site access details have been expanded.
Included in this edition is a list of over 600 dump point locations with addresses and contact phone numbers, as well as symbols to show suitability for cassettes, holding tanks, use for non-guests (and whether a fee is applicable), together with access suitability for big rigs.
The guide represents great value for money, especially when the cost of the book can be recouped after only a few nights camping out.
Being able to plan a trip with stopovers that are free or low cost, knowing if a pet is welcome and seeing at a glance what facilities are available, has proven to be a hit with travellers across Australia. It is easy to see why it is now clearly regarded as the travellers bible
All in all, an easy to use and comprehensive guide to rest areas and camp spots throughout Australia, a definite must have for all travellers.
