Back by popular demand, 50% OFF midweek discounts are now available, plus we've added a new 15% family saver too.

The discounts are running for a limited time so to book or find out more visit SPECIAL OFFERS

We received the email yesterday.  More restrictive than previously, as already pointed out.  Book by 2nd of May, minimum of 3 nights, and only available on a minority of sites. 

Had a "play around" with prices for 1 site and agree that fees are not clear.  Worked out that the saving per night was £6.30 for December at Meathop, but there is no clear breakdown of price per person and price per pitch..  Who knows wether the "system" can work out the correct discount, after all the "glitches" encountered since the launch of the new system surprised

I find it interesting that when I touch on the site names on the offer page, it takes me to the old site pages rather than the new booking system. However when I select book a touring pitch it doesn’t take me straight to availability but to the same information on the new booking system.🤔

However while it is in term time the discount is available all days of the week and can start on any day and only a two night minimum is needed so it will be worth it for families at weekends and Hillhead would be a good saving?

Whilst your statement is certainly factual I not sure how practical it will be for many. We live fairly central and the closest site to us is 70 miles away and because of the roads well over two hours, the rest are over 3 hours away. Even with price decreases fuel price is a major factor and we haven’t had the budget yet.

Forgive my chuckling at your post Steve but it reads as if you're  clutching at straws in order to find a negative point🤪🤪.

Not everyone lives 70 miles from a participating site and the discount could be seen as a way of helping folk in this era of rising costs. Glass half full, eh? 👍

That bit works OK for me. I notice that the main front pages of the website have changed and the "booking experience" bit has been relegated to the deprhs so feedback is harder to find.

I think CAMC have made an error of judgement in offering family discounts outwith school holidays. 

However the general benefits to all are low so it's a non event for me on a personal level.

 I still can't understand why those over 65 years old feel the need to book so far in advance.

Check your health, check the weather and go the following week. Simple!

I can’t understand why some leave it so late Mikey. However I believe it’s called personal choice.😉

I love the irony in Rowennas' opening post, namely "Back by popular demand".

I wonder what else might be brought back by popular demand?😅

Oooo, I have a long list🤣

Openness, transparency, good communications, that sort of thing for starters……..😁

I always thought that one of the advantages of this type of holiday was the ability to "get up and go"  laughing

It just seems that many people complain of deposits and the uncertainty of their health - well to me the answer is self evident!

Well it’s certainly negative for those that do live so far away. I agree for many it will work out well. However, due to the low number of sites and there dispersal, there will be a significant number of families that will find it impractical to use them for a weekend. Perhaps one or two more sites up the middle of the country would have helped.

A question, do you actually have to turn up with a child to qualify. When I checked the saving was £ 5 / 6 a night on the cost of just two adults. So a phantom child would save you quite a bit on a weeks stay.🤔

It is, and we do for an odd few days.  However, I don’t have any problem with a reasonable deposit and one of my pleasures is planning our next tour. Even where we don’t have to book, I’ve always got a few scenarios.
