Camps Australia Wide 6	Camps 6 with CampsSnaps

    After the success of five editions, Camps Australia Wide has produced their sixth edition, with more sites, informative symbols and in full colour. This edition is A4 in size, has 408 pages and has been revised and updated with over 3,700 sites, that's 300 New sites.

     Also available is the popular "Mega B4 size Camps 6 with CampsSnaps". It has the same information as the Camps 6 book with the additional photos of the campsites included. This has 400 pages, revised and updated with 3,700 sites and over 2100 photos providing a visual preview of the sites before you arrive. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

    Camps Australia Wide 6 includes the Hema Road Atlas, with the campsites positioned in their approximate locations on the maps.

    This book is not just a guide to camping spots for certain areas, but encompasses the whole of Australia, showing rest areas, free camps, station stays, low-cost caravan parks, national parks, state forests, state parks and reserves.

    Facilities at each site are depicted by symbols, including not only the standard ones, but those applicable to motorhomes, such as big rigs, maximum stay allowed, dump points, pets allowed, fees applicable. Descriptive icons include: close to road; pleasant outlook or vista; mobile phone coverage; dry weather access and author recommended sites. All sites now have GPS co-ordinates, and site access details have been expanded.

    Included in this edition is a Public Dump Point list of over 400 dump point locations with addresses and GPS co-ordinates , as well as symbols to show suitability for cassettes, holding tanks, (and whether a fee is applicable), together with access suitability for big rigs.

    The guide represents great value for money, especially when the cost of the book can be recouped after only a few nights camping out.

    Being able to plan a trip with stopovers that are free or low cost, knowing if a pet is welcome and seeing at a glance what facilities are available, has proven to be a hit with travellers across Australia. It is easy to see why it is now clearly regarded as the travellers bible .

    All in all, an easy to use and comprehensive guide to rest areas and camp spots throughout Australia, a definite must have for all travellers.

    Available from Monday 14th February 2011 at leading bookshops, outdoor stores and good newsagents, Camps Australia Wide 6 is regularly updated on the publication’s website. www.campsaustraliawide.com
