Yup most freeze the packs for you (best to check before you go ) usually between 20p and 50p a pack ,and you eed to take 2 (one freezing while using the other one and swap once or twice a day !
We figured in no time out combicool would have paid for its self!

If I were to purchase a cool box, is it possible to refreeze the ice packs at campsites?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But very often they charge for the service. I got sick of paying a Euro per two blocks on site. Significant cash over a long trip. A CombiCool may be expensive up front, but it really works and will pay for itself in the long run, as you waste less food and have to go shopping less often.
One tip that helps a lot is to buy a cheap insullated bag to put inside your coolbox if you decide against a CombiCool.. The kind that they sell at the checkouts for carrying food home is best, and usually about £1. (I bought one in M&S last week.) Put your food in that, icepack on top and roll the top down to eliminate the airgap. Saves having a lot of dead air to cool if your coolbox isn`t full, and increases its insullation quite significantly.
When were camping using our Combicool it uses the same dumpy size Calor Gas bottle as our cooker and have never emptied (from full) a bottle yet on a two week holiday.
