Europe By Van And Motorhome - David Shore and Patty Campbell

This book is a great introduction to the ins and outs of camping in Europe. Don't buy it if you don't want to get enthused. Note that it is not a campground guide.

 

Europe Through The Back Door 2007 - Rick Steves

Rick doesn't really consider himself a camping traveler, he's more into trains and tour busses, but his books make great guides for campers too. The best part of this book for us is the second half, 34 "back doors". These are destinations that are off the beaten tourist path, and we think it's more fun to visit them with a car and tent or RV than by train.
