Hi Andy
When we started caravanning we were lucky enough to receive 2 "AA Caravan & Camping" guide books as presents.
All the parks are rated from 1 to 5 pennant. We're never stayed at a "bad" park when selecting from this guide although we usually stay on 3 or 4 pennant parks - but it depends on what you want.
However, our guide is now outdated as it's 2005!
I think they only cost around £5.99 off Amazon. (Note to self - need to update ours) although I do rely quite heavily on the site reviews on UKCS these days.
Hope this helps?

If you're a member of one of the clubs you get a free one! I am with the Camping & Caravanning Club now and think their Big Sites Book is excellent, once you've grasped how to use their odd layout. I didn't find the Caravan Club's one quite so good. You also have the other benefits of being a club member of course.
I've bought one or two books (one, Alan Rogers, which was recommended, cost me £12 and I don't think much of it at all) but they haven't got nearly as many sites in as the Big Sites Book. I use that all the time and then cross-reference with reviews on here.

Whilst I use a couple of books for Continental campsites I find its just as easy to use the internet. UKCampsites has a massive database of campsites as do other websites.

Just print out the site details of the area you are visiting from this website, then you have the most comprehensive guide around at your fingertips.

We used to use the AA one and Cades, we also have the CC and C & CC ones, but since finding this site I very rarely use them!------------- Tigermouse
