Camps Australia wide Bible I mean book!!!

[weezanickinoff]

Just wanted to copy a note from Camps Australia' Cathryn & Philip, our Bible and go to book ......seems there's a rumour zooming around Oz?

It seems that the "Camps has been sold to Big 4" rumour is still going strong, we have been approached many times by travellers re this.

IT IS NOT TRUE! - we haven't sold the our business to anyone & Camps7 is not the last one ever! Our Camps 8th Edition will be available mid Feb 2015 , so please fell free to tell all your fellow travellers we still own and run the business, and the Happy Hour tale is just that.

Safe travels

Cathryn and Philip

Cheers

A lot of people (like me) don't have this "Camps" book so every time someone tells us they are in camp65 on page 99 it means nothing.
I just move to the next thread.
Give me the co=ords & I can look it up any time!!

Buy yourself a Camps book, they often come on special especially when a new edition appears, you certainly get your monies worth, a couple of FREE camp & you have saved the money spent.

You don't even need that Bruce. Just sit on the outskirts of any town with an attraction worthy of abuse and follow the whizbangs or backpackers* in to all the best spots. The foreigners know them all.

* backpackers are easy to recognise; four kids in a WA or Vic plated vehicle with gear crowding the rear window and/or on the roof. Trouble is, they wait till dusk to whiz into the pay parks and leave early, so setting up in the dark may be inconvenient for you. We had one lot of three guys and a girl wheel in with head lights on at 12:11 one night, find a spot near us in a huge area and then take an hour to set up four tents using their very bright LED head torches. Arrrggh.

Yes Brad, that's perhaps why I don't want a 'camps' book. I'm a bit of a loner & most times don't enjoy chin wagging as much as I probably should.

Besides Bruce it doesn't show mooring places.

We won't be getting another Camps book, too many cock ups seen on this trip, we like our gravel pits..

You fibber Bruce, you love to natter and natter cus yous a nutter of a nutter. Hop in that MH of yours and get over here (without those rag rats though)

Well, given your one is about 3 years old, what do you expect?!
We also have camps 6, and will probably buy camps 8 next year.
I threw out camps 3 recently, was a much thinner book

I find that the wikicamps is far better and for $2.99 is great value.
You can have it on a tablet and it will show you what is in front (you can select a tangent to show you what is ahead and can select what you want to see , re no CP's and sites for large rigs with water and DP or what ever and that's what you see and it is live.
You can download the data when required and operate off line or you can run online if you have coverage.
It is up to date from the last time you uploaded or to the minute if you are online. There are many comments for a site if it is a good one as well as photos so I feel much better than Camps at a fraction of the cost and more up to date.
But then you have to be smart enough to operate a smart phone or have someone with you that can.
