Good morning. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience being caused with the implementation of our new booking system. Members and guests are able to make bookings through the new system however this is not the complete experience we have designed. 

Please be assured our IT and Technical Teams are working extremely hard to resolve all of the issues as soon as possible.

I have already made a couple of bookings on the new web site,but tonight I looked at Black Knowl for the period 13th to 17th April.

 The price bands for the pitches it came up with the following 

Hard standing with EHU £39.50

Non Electric economy pitch no Awning £40.70

Service Pitch with Awning £44.40

Grass with Awning with EHU £48.90

To me something just doesn't look right, why is a Grass pitch so much more,than a hard standing and why is a Non economy pitch more than a hardstanding pitch.

I did quickly look at Winchester Morn Hill site and the price structure of the pitches there, looks correct in relation to the increase in facilities.

I've been to BK and actually looked for the one economy pitch...on the map at the time it showed it, but it physically didn't exist.

this years plan doesn't show it now even though the clubs list of sites with non EHU pitches still says BK has one/some.

who would pay over £40 for a non electric pitch?

for the 13th for two people im seeing HS £49.90, economy n/a, SP £54.80, grass n/a.

there's obviously something wrong with the base template...which shows these prices

Hardstanding With AwningWith EHU.
From £39.50 per night

Non Electric Economy Pitch No Awning Usually a grass pitch.
From £40.70 per night

Serviced Pitch With Awning
From £44.40 per night

Grass With Awning With EHU.
From £48.90 per night

Sorry to hear you haven't been well David, at least you will have time to cancel and hopefully get away another time.

I don't think TDA intended any mischief in her comments.

All our bookings will no doubt be made in the hope we can travel.

There nothing wrong with the template YT. It shows the lowest prices for each pitch type for the month in view. Grass / non EHU are not available in the cheaper part of the month.

I don't want to take this off thread but as far as Black Knowl is concerned just over the road is the Camping in the Forest site Aldridge Hill, a much cheaper and relaxed alternative if you can manage without EHU etc. There is choice out there. smile

What's wrong with it YT? It does say From, they are not the prices for one particular date?

Post edit, didn't see Steve's reply which said the same thing.

+1

If people think the BK price is on the silly scale or exorbitant then don't pay it?

Or there will be at certain times of the year, once they appoint an operator. All you can do currently is express an interest to stay, no firm bookings are possible. They must be loosing a lot of money as the one in Clipstone Forest that the C&CC administered was closed Christmas and new year, last year it was rammed. Sorry Off topic.
