Is there a global online resource for campsites? - Woman Having A Video Call

I'm wondering if there's any website which covers either the whole world or possibly a major part of Europe listing campsites, ideally with ratings, bookings, maps, pricing, availability.

Something combining some features of Hostel World, Trip Advisor, Couch Surfing, but focused on camping.

Does such a thing exist?

(I'm in Bulgaria heading either to southern Serbia or the Republic of Macedonia and then through Albania and it would be great to be able to route my way through areas I can camp in my tent. Besides it seems like a great idea somebody must've had by now!)



Best Answer

For the UK, there are a couple of online resources:

  • Camping Ninja: A listing of camping sites around the UK run by camping enthusiasts. This site relies on campsite owners adding listings so you may not find all options but on the bright site it's an extremely well-designed website.
  • Cool Camping: Compiled list of camping sites.
  • Camping and Caravaning Club: Perhaps not what you're looking for, this is a requires membership to join and seems to be geared towards a more sanitised, 'family' camping experience.

Answer 2

While no-one has posted a good global site yet, here are resources for Nordic / Scandinavian countries. (All these sites are available in English too.)

I also came across EuroCampings.eu which covers most of Europe! With a quick look, it's pretty comprehensive and all (e.g. in case of Finland, camping.fi has 136 camping sites and EuroCampings 132). According to the site, they list 9100 camp sites in 29 countries.
