New Booking System

£42.90 per night for a non serviced pitch in June with basic facilities. I could get B&B for not much more !! Apparently it would be £57.90 for a non member !!????........... Crazy !

I think your answer is in its popularity. More or less all of May and a fair number of dates in June are shown as low availability. May could have been booked under the old system but for June they would have had to pay deposits.

Perhaps worth trying North Ledaig. We stopped at both last year in September / October and Bunree was £88.20 for three nights, whilst North Ledaig was £71.50 that’s for 2 adults.

That's a ridiculous price for Bunree, to be honest I prefer North Ledaig.

I asked the same last night but without any response!

Have just tried out the booking site on my old 15+ years laptop, it runs on Windows 7.  So far I have experienced no issues.

The map worked as it should, prices were displayed for the dates I had entered and changed as I scrolled along the calendar.

I did notice that The Clachan site which was formerly one of the  £17 a night sites is now £20+

Not bad value when you consider some CL’s are now charging £25 or even £30 per night

We have, reluctantly, booked one CL at £25, but will not go higher than  that.  Thinking we may even use CAMC North York Moors, £23.20 for the time we will be away.  Yorkshire does seem quite expensive.

Would be our only Club site in 2 years.

Same with Altnaharra our stay in September would cost 22% more. That still seems good value, what doesn’t is that for 3 adults the price has increased by 62%. Similar increases have been applied to both EHU and non EHU pitches. For comparison the next site we stayed at, Durness Sango Sands has increased their price by 10% non EHU and 11.5% EHU. The percentage increases there are the same with more adults. Altnahara is cheaper for children though at £1.7 as against £4, which for families could offset the other differences. Pets are free at both. Basically I suppose it’s very much swings and roundabouts. Comparisons will depend very much on your party make up.

Sorry.
I shouldn’t have included the price per child when considering percentage increases, as Durness has facilities. So forget that bit. Suffice it to say they are more.

I've been bemoaning the blasted map search....awful.... I like to see site names and locations rather than price labels.....  so I now use SearchforSites, get the link from there to the actual site page and click book a pitch....boom straight there in double quick time. Also SfS has CLs and other club sites/CS site and independent sites listed. I've only booked 3 for 2023 and booked those before the new system became a "thing"..... I've a week to book early July and another 2 in September and I'll use the SfS way as much easier but also we've used CL's the past 2 years and with decent facilities too but much cheaper than the club sites.  Pretty sure there will be plenty of empty pitches in 2023. I paid €22 for 2 of us and the motorhome inc electric last weekend per night in Belgium on a hard stand. Safe Travels all...... but I thought I'd share my thoughts on the Map Search and how I now book.

I am checking things very carefully now against other local offerings and VFM.
