Used this book 12 years ago for a two month trip through Europe, and it made it possible to conviently and cheaply stay in the often pristine campgrounds available in or just outside most European cities and scenic destinations at a cost far below and a level of comfort far above budget stays in hostels or cheap hotels. Too bad it's out of print! It was highly accurate, and I'd imagine most campgrounds mentioned are still in operation.
My favorite travel book of all time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
My wife and I spent 5 weeks in Europe several years ago. We followed this book's advice on how to see Europe via camping/train. Our trip couldn't have been easier or more enjoyable. This book was directly responsible for the best trip we've every taken.
Absolutely essential information for European/Rail/camping
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book provided essential information on two separate family camping trips to Europe. Each trip lasted more than six weeks, each was rail-based. We found that Baken's information was compact and exact. In each case that we used the book we found the directions to the campings from the train stations to be precise and that the evaluation of each camping agreed with our tastes. Additional information supplied about local sites was also very thorough. Our copy is tattered, thumbed, smudged - and very well traveled.
