Hi JM. First let me welcome you to the forums.

As for maps, I always use the Ordnance Survey Super Scale map for my holidays. It list's complete directories from the , Nationa Trust, The Royal Horticultural Society and English Heritage. Some places of interest, Zoo'sand places of outstanding beauty are also shown. It also gives quite a few town plans. Although some camp sites do show on the map,you cant beat a dedicated camping book. I use the Cade's CAmping, Touring and Motor Caravan Site Guide. It tells you all the amenities on site,  how to get there and nearest places of interest as well. Both Map and Book can be purchased from W.H.Smiths. I havnt tried the internet for W.H.Smiths, but I am sure you will find their site.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Welcome Jan on this forum.

Just like Peter, we use the maps of Ordnance Survey (OS Travel Map - Road), since last year in combination with a GPS on the motorbike.

I'm sure you can find this maps in the Netherlands.

Hello Peter, wauw you have done your homework. The things you tell, it sounds good. I will look for the W.H. Smiths on the internet because in Holland we don't have W.H.Smiths. In almost every village and town there is a WHS, so i can also visit one the first day of my vacation.
