Hi everyone!

Share your views about our UK Club campsite facilities and earn a cash reward!

We’re partnering with Discovery Research, an independent research agency, to gather some feedback to help us deliver great holidays on UK Club campsites. We love to hear your feedback on likes and dislikes, suggestions for improvements and reactions to new ideas.

We’re now looking for some members to take part in a short online research community to help shape future UK Club campsite facilities.

About the research community:

The online community will run 11, 12 and 13 April 2022
There will be 3 tasks to be completed - one per day
Each task will take approximately 30-45 minutes
To help us understand your thoughts, we may ask you to share pictures/ video about the topics we will be discussing
By taking part you will earn a thank you cash reward!

To be eligible to take part you must:

Have visited a UK Club campsite in the past 12 months
Be available to participate 11, 12 and 13 April 2022
If you fancy participating and can answer yes to both of the above questions, simply register your interest before before Wednesday 6 April by clicking HERE to complete a short Google form hosted by our trusted partner Discovery Research.

As you’ll appreciate, we need to involve a really good mix of members to ensure we get well-rounded feedback, so whilst we won’t be able to follow up with everyone who registers, we do truly appreciate all interest shown. After registration, if you’ve been selected a Discovery researcher will be in touch with you to confirm your participation.

I think you may be asking too much of an organization' like the CAMC to create "magic" places such as you have described. We too have a collection of sites that are"magic" to us and we are on one now. However a start might be to inject some "charm" into souless parks, landscaping with hedge marked pitches of sufficient size to abolish the pegs and take a long hard look at a regime seemingly designed for the convenience of staff rather than customer

I wouldn’t expect Club Sites to offer anything like a CL in terms of “magic moments” in truth, they have far too large and diverse a Membership to satisfy, and probably know their base market very well, which we know isn’t us, nor probably you I am guessing😁 If the base market is fixated on facilities ( and it clearly is, to read Club Site reviews) then the Club will channel resources that way. At least they enable us to make use of the CL network, which is why we stay Members, and that relatively small fee for the year keeps us onboard.

I don’t disagree about some of your other comments though. The newer Sites, refurbished Sites, are a bit same and tame. But if that’s what the Membership desires…….

Meantime, we enjoy ourselves over here, and you find your heaven overseas, so we are happy. Envy you that GOT location by the way👍 No dragons though I hope🙂

And the Club comes up with a research project on loo provision🤣🤣🤣

I did put my name forward for the survey but never heard any more, so presumably I didn't fit the bill ☹️ but having read the questions asked I'm glad I didn't 😁 don't think I'd have had the patience on that subject.

I love doing surveys, and did ponder. But wasn’t happy to support something I consider to be a waste of Membership fees. Will they reveal the findings, might I be mistaken, will it actually result in anything? 🤷‍♀️🤔😉

landscaping with hedge marked pitches of sufficient size to abolish the pegs

As an approximation that would require a doubling of the land area dedicated to each pitch, resulting in a halving of the number of pitches and a consequent doubling of pitch fees. Plus the expenditure of a considerable part of the reserves.

The reduction in occupancy would however probably solve the unavailability of pitches.

One Club site where I think they did get it right was White Water Park but I have yet to see it replicated elsewhere. Some pitches, not all, are delineated by hedges and the pitch area is quite large, it seemed only to apply to the serviced pitches. Obviously having hedges around pitches creates more work but I imagine many would appreciate the privacy.

Hmm………..it looks neat and tidy, but very glorified car park. Easy to use springs to mind. It’s the camping equivalent for those who dig up their garden and put in little but tarmac, gravel or block paving. I suppose a bit of effort has been made with what looks like planters. I prefer sites with rabbits hopping around, ducks waddling about, but each to their own. Mind, it has one redeeming feature…..it’s close to the Riverside Stadium😁

Sanitised, pristine, all vegetation clipped to within an inch of its life. Devoid of wildlife😞
