I am the author of Camping Europe. I have driven and traveled independently in 26 European countries for 40 years. I wrote the guide to give readers the essential information they need to drive, use public transportation in cities and to find off-the-beaten-track adventures…easily, safely and affordably.

Camping Europe appeals to adventurous travelers who like to hike, cycle, kayak and bird-watch in Europe. I have selected the listed campgrounds because of their pleasant setting, affordability, friendliness, amenities and good maintenance.

I feel that travel is an essential part of an adventurous life and a great way to educate yourself. I enjoy reader’s comments and questions about traveling in Europe.
