At first glance - 42.

It is a surprising list in regards to what isn't on it.

northie Jun 10th, 2008 06:13 PM

43 over 12 countries-most in UK, forgot I live nearly next door to one and have only visited 6 in the country I live in-Australia!!

SWillams Jun 17th, 2008 06:23 PM

77, much to my surprise.

Interesting list.

About 76 including 16 in the US. (we camped a lot when the kids were young).
Actually I think there were more, but I don't recognize some by their "formal" names.

flygirl Jan 10th, 2010 05:12 AM

I am now at 54. I added 5 more in 2009.

Hope to add more in 2010!

flygirl Jan 10th, 2010 05:20 AM

ps. I thought I'd point out again - both sites I originally linked are wonderful. The second one is unofficial but the owner put a LOT of work into it...
