How does Alan Rogers Camping in Europe work?

The beginning of each country section has a brief overview of the country, mentioning highlights to see and do, currency, how to say hello and goodbye in the national language, a list of public holidays and motoring advice with caravans and motorhomes in mind.

Each campsite has a full-page listing with two colour photos, a thoughtful description of the site, including layout, ambiance and ideas of things to do in the surrounding area, a candid description of the toilet/sanitary blocks and other onsite facilities with opening dates, including whether the campground has a takeaway, bar, swimming pool, sports and play areas and any onsite entertainment.

The campsite addresses are not supplied, but GPS coordinates in the format: 45.22297, -1.16465 are given as well as the postcode and town/city, contact details and opening dates. Symbols denoting the different Alan Rogers 'Ideal for...' themes (beach, kids, dogs, fishing, watersports, walking, etc) are also provided to help you choose the best campsite for you.

This European campsite directory also lists award winning campsites in nine categories, from camping by the sea to family campsites to innovation and progress. The winning campsites were chosen jointly by the Caravan & Motorhome Club and Alan Rogers.
