It seems that the CAMC website has been down since Saturday and is still down this morning unless my web browser is playing up?
I had a text today from CC Insurance to say they were having ongoing "technical difficulties" and gave their direct phone number in the event of a claim.It seems that the CAMC website has been down since Saturday and is still down this morning unless my web browser is playing up?
I've had the same text.I had a text today from CC Insurance to say they were having ongoing "technical difficulties" and gave their direct phone number in the event of a claim.
I've found the CC website unbearably slow for several years but whether that's the hardware or software I don't know.
Received the same text this morning. I'm certainly no I.T guru but I find the CAMC web site very "clunky" and nowhere near as user friendly as other web-based form-filling/ordering sites. I've always been convinced that the CAMC powers-that-be would sooner every member use their best Basildon Bond and write to the club to book sites (while wearing their best shirt and tie)!!!I had a text today from CC Insurance to say they were having ongoing "technical difficulties" and gave their direct phone number in the event of a claim.

Other caravan sites operators are available, and still working online!Still the same message on the CAMC website;
We would like to thank our members for their kind wishes of support and understanding. We would also like to thank and recognise our partners and external teams of specialists who are working around the clock to help bring our systems back online.
I wonder how many people have sent in kind wishes etc? It looks like the Basildon Bond is the way forward, but if the Royal Mail are switching to 3 day deliveries, no more last minute bookings as you will need to book several months in advance.
That would be 2 weeks for the letter to get to CAMC, a month for them to look at it, another month for them to do the booking as no IT system and another 2 weeks for them to send the letter confirming the booking. Oh dear if you need to change the booking you will be deep in the you know what!
Are they CAMC site operators?Other caravan sites operators are available, and still working online!
Post Office etc, just confirms my suspicions that we rely far too much on technology,
No - my point was there's plenty of alternatives to the Caravan Club.Are they CAMC site operators?
As anyone who works/worked in IT development knows there's no such thing as a "perfect" system, it's always subject to "upgrades" which is just a posh name for bug fixes. The software is just as much part of the technology as the hardware.IMO misplaced accreditation of "blame", it is invariably the human aspect that fails, be that the author of the software right through to what the corporate humans chose to do when glitches arise. Technology does precisely what it is told to do, which can be very different to what the author or user believes it was ask to do.
I have zero doubt the present CAMC website issues are down to human choices, and the Post Office enquiry surely can't fail to convince anybody that the disaster there was multiple human choices, it was not the technology itself going wrong?
Okay gotcha however no alternative for CLs which is what we mainly book.No - my point was there's plenty of alternatives to the Caravan Club.
But you book most of those direct with the CL. You can get to a lot of them via the CL Booking website, which is much less torturous than CAMCOkay gotcha however no alternative for CLs which is what we mainly book.
If you know the contact details for the CL however I am guessing that the website may be up and running before the end of the month?But you book most of those direct with the CL. You can get to a lot of them via the CL Booking website, which is much less torturous than CAMC

More so in the appalling case of Horizon.As anyone who works/worked in IT development knows there's no such thing as a "perfect" system, it's always subject to "upgrades" which is just a posh name for bug fixes. The software is just as much part of the technology as the hardware.
You/we don't need the CC website online to book CLs, which is what we usually book.Okay gotcha however no alternative for CLs which is what we mainly book.
Many CLs are not listed on UK Campsite, but it is a good resource.You/we don't need the CC website online to book CLs, which is what we usually book.
I find it easier to search for CLs using UKcampsite and then contact the CL directly.
Sorry. Think we are at cross purpose. I meant this websiteIf you know the contact details for the CL however I am guessing that the website may be up and running before the end of the month?
