I feel very sorry for all those CL owners and those that have wanted to look for and book a CL. The "Essential Maintenance" has been in effect for over 24 hrs and I wonder in that time now many prospective CL clients have given up the idea of booking a CL and have found alternative sites? It would not be so bad had we, as customers, had been informed of the down time but just to shut down the site is treating us and CL owners with no respect. I have not yet tried to access the CL section and hopefully it will be accessible whereas the club bookIng site has huge queue at the moment. The very worst website I have experienced.

Now trying the same on my laptop, CL section is working via Find A UK Campsite, top menu bar.

Once you've got past the queue system that is.

After waiting patiently in the queue I tried searching for CLs with electric hook-up and hard standings (as we have). There is no filter option for either of these as far as I can see....maybe I'm just missing them but I don't think so.

Nor is it possible to untick club sites to only leave CLs. At the moment, as a CL owner, I am seriously disappointed with the new system and very relieved to be listed on the CL Booking website.

Yes, so glad to have the second string to the bow with CL Booking which is such an excellent set up. CAMC take note!

Clicked on the link which took me to CLs.
No facility to type in county.

No list of facilities on each CL eg hookups.

No prices.

No maps.

No reviews.

You are not trying very hard are you?

Use the link then, as explained by myself and Brue, you choose a Country then you choose a County then you choose a Town or place that would have them in your Site Directory book, then you click on a C.L. and you can see that C.L.s profile as normally displayed under the old style web site, with reviews and prices and map etc. If you don't like that one then press the go back button until you see other C.L.s or use the facility at the bottom of the C.L. that you are looking at where it says Sites Nearby and click on one of those.

Yes, it's true you can't use the facility to restrict what C.L.s you see (such as EHU/Adults only etc.) but at the moment beggars can't be choosers.

So you can get Prices, Maps and Reviews just no facilities button.

You can also use the Searchforsites web page, which will show you both CLs and CS sites, as well as smaller commercial sites, as well as others. Easy to navigate too.

I liked the old app, it was excellent for finding CLs with the facilities we wanted, the new app is hopeless for CLs.

No search filters, and when you go to look at a particular CL, no prices, no info on pitch surface, no mention of EHU, and very little detail.

There also apparently are 0 pitches , max length of outfit is also 0m, and all are open to non members now, as noted elsewhere by JVB.

Screen display is poor on my i pad, with lots of overlapping.

Yes, the main website still has the info on the above for each CL, but no search filters. I also find, as a foreigner, searching by county and then town tricky.........especially in Wales. I like a map.

I agree about having a map. We are the same in parts of Scotland and Wales. Saying Argyll, means nothing unless I see where it is. Some areas we can make a stab at and sister lives in Fife but no idea of some other parts.

Kjell, revert to the map function on the Searchforsites web site. Their map give so much more than that given by the old CC system. Here's the link.
