What about Dutch camp sites?
Don't know, haven't been there in years, too cold and rainy.
Every year this season I bitterly ask myself why my parents didn't think
of emigrating to a lower latitude country.

Don't you live in Portugal? I live in Mainz, which is (even though it is the
same latitude as Winnipeg) is a relatively warm place, but I'd appreciate a
more mediterranean latitude a lot.

I do... though the Algarve would be an improvement. I even like rain if it's not cold, but I feel seriously unhappy below 10ºC (50ºF), and we've had like 6 or 8 or less. At least we have snow only twice per century... weird to think of it, but if you stretch a rope from NYC to Kabul it will cross Lisbon, give or take a mile or two. (I live in Coimbra, myself, and I've only gone camping once. A friend of mine once told me of a camping site in Germany where the girls didn't mind showering nude in front of everybody, but we're not so lucky here.)
I can't imagine how people manage to live in Russia.
