Clubsite bookings 2021

Could CAMC booking system cope with this. I have my suspicions and this may be the real reason why nothing happens.

You and me both CY.

If you complicate the system so much not only is the system unlikely to cope but nor will members!!! The beauty of the current system, as flawed in the minds of some as it might be, is that it is simple to use and simple to understand. You can of course tweak it by extending the 72 hour rule or even imposing deposits but above all it has to be simple.

Nothing will be “too late”. A member somewhere will fill whatever gap arises. That’s the bottom line for the Club, tourers on pitches, as many as possible, as long as the Site is open. If you want two, three weekends as part of a long holiday, it’s simple. You get off your 🤫 and book it. There are possibly only a tiny few Sites that folks are desperate to stay on at a particular time in peak season, all available a year in advance. It’s how we had to book our holidays when working, and as we stayed on a very popular CL, with just the five pitches, we got damned organised or we compromised. 

I doubt many Members will find having all sorts of booking limits imposed on them popular, in essence to suit those who don’t sort their holidays out. If you know there is a finite limit to a product you need, you try your best to sort yourself out. 🤷‍♀️

 

But as you have again failed to post with your over there posts is the same as can be achieved on this island,  travel out the the peak holiday periods,   albeit that is now getting less viable  with the growing "staycations" with the retired population 

AD, trust me, it is possible to tour spontaneously in UK, even in a pandemic year. Not via exclusively Club Sites, but with the kind of open mind you use overseas regarding a variety of Sites. We did a 5 Site tour last September (case rates were good, everyone hit the road) I booked our second site a couple of nights in front, knowing it would be very busy, then we winged it the rest of the tour, including our first night stop over. Even got a pitch on a real Northumberland plum everyone raves about. Nothing to do with bad weather cancellations either, it was glorious. 😁

I have just checked out availability on four Summer holiday type Sites, two in Cornwall, one in Devon, one on East Coast. Every single one has every single weekend with pitch availability. What  are going fast are the finite number of serviced pitches, but by no means all booked. 🤷‍♀️

I would be very supprised that any site on the club network did not have a pitch/es available for an odd night or two at least stopover, i am not saying it ,would be guaranteed? but a call to a site on the way has in all the years we have been members ,been normally in the positives

I'm not sure Phishings limit of only two visits at any site per year  would make much difference, in respect of folk being able to book full weeks, as the OP requires.

At the less popular sites it is not really an issue, as long as you are moderately organised and don't leave it until the month before.

Whilst the honeypots are just so popular the weekends will still go months before. They will just be spread over more members and booking a week will be as difficult as ever.

I think the difference is JVB when there we just roll up and 9 times out of 10 a pitch is available. The sites generally have pools and other facilities if that's what one wants. I'm not sure how viable that sort of touring would be here, at those sorts of sites, in May, June and September.
