CAMC site - 1hr + wait?!

[Dustydog]

A number of CLs over the last couple of years have installed payg meters on the EHU. They are inexpensive to install and give certainty to both parties. Other sites I’ve been offered EHU for an extra £5.00 a day. Last winter £5.00 lasted us 24 hours with everything on. We were warm. I expect that to double this winter. At least we are in control.

Opps wrong thread

I did try the booking procedure yesterday and it worked perfectly well for me, but I would prefer the old system. I hope the teething troubles are over but I am afraid they are almost inevitable with complex new systems.

Relax Ray. The Annual weekender bookers are over. Normal service had been resumed🤪

I sincerely hope that this is NOT the new normal service!
Went on looking for a CL this afternoon. Spent best part of an hour going round in circles trying to find one suitable!
Gave up on the Club website and decided to go via google! Funny how there was suddenly loads sites with all relevant information available!
The Club website currently isn't fit for purpose!

No wait today, but what have they done to the CL section, search is next to useless and info on the sites is rubbish.
What a mess

Just log in online and and if you put Find Uk Campsite & Caravan sites and as you follow the page down you will see CL sites

 

[Dustydog]

Just Google Ukcampsites. 99% of CLs and CSs are listed with direct access booking. Why bother looking for these sites via CAMC🤔

Yes, I did that, and entered Leicestershire in the search, which seemed to just populate the left hand pain with sites from notts, and staffs and northants with a couple of Leicestershire ones scattered about.
Then spotted that the map had hot links so clicked on some of those but details like electric hook up missing from some and very few had pricing per night.
I'll just use the book and a phone

Never used it before, but will look at it now. Thanks for the suggestion

When we were caravanning we use that a lot and it had some useful information on club sites .

I realise the site has been down the weekend whilst they implement new deposit payment system. Now I can't even browse campsites without being put into the queue. Is this really a two day backlog causing this? If this becomes the norm, I won't bother with them!

Same here,if I have to wait I don't bother and go elsewhere.

I have been a member with both clubs for some years but now we have stopped caravanning which one would be best to keep on , because we are looking at holiday cottages and lodges with a enclosed garden ,what would your views be on this ?

Difficult to advise. Best to look at what each club offers wrt lodges, or outfitted self contained pods. They both do them but from my reading of the clubs magazines the CCC seem to have the edge. One we have used is Groupon where there are some good offers particularly now we are going into the season end. At present we are looking at a night in a nice hotel next to Coventry Cathedral at £55 for two including full breakfast. Less than half the Travelodge price. If you don’t want breakfast included it’s £37 per night for two people.

Neither are primarily for holiday cottages with gardens. Unless you enjoy their magazines and websites why continue? As Clive says you will have to look elsewhere? My sister uses a lot of the various cottage websites eg Sykes and U.K. cottages.

Both clubs have a number of cottages on some sites but the numbers are small. I doubt membership is worthwhile for what they have and personally I would just go with one of the regular providers of cottages although I am pretty sure if there is a club site where you want one, they do not require membership to rent them.

i have check both clubs and we think one might be the way to go and CCC is looking more favourable at present and cottages.com
