This is actually quite appalling for an organisation like the CAMC. Doesnt anyone proof read these things?

Posted on 13/10/2023 09:16

Clearly not as they’ve spelled Carnon Downs incorrectly as well as the other errors.

If I cancel do I have to claim my deposit back and then start all over again with another deposit, why not just ammend the bookings that have been already made. Also if I cancel there's the possibility of loosing the booking altogether.

Why do the club make such hard work of everything they do, the sooner a change of management is made the better for all concerned because the current management are destroying what was once a very well run members club

 Hi Martyn,

If you have already made a booking for 2024 from 1 January 2024 onwards you can take advantage of the new lower prices. All you have to do is view the new lower prices online, review your booking, and if you wish, simply cancel your existing booking(s) free of charge and rebook at the new lower price (please remember to cancel and rebook a minimum of 21 full days prior arrival).

Our team can help you amend your booking if you want to give them a call on 01342 327490.

Might be a good idea to acquaint whoever formulated the geographical list that:

Buxton, Poolsbrook and Carsington are in Derbyshire, Blackshaw in Staffordshire, Sutton-on-Sea in Lincolnshire and Clumber in Nottinghamshire. None of them can be found in East Anglia.

Similarly Southport is neither in Wales or the Midlands. Try the North West!

May not seem important but I'm sure the odd person will just check under their regional catch all area description.

Not exactly the first time in the CAMC staff that an understanding of where places in the UK can be found has been found wanting. A bit lazy as all of the answers easily found at your fingertips.

Thanks for highlighting this, we tried to group campsites to show 6 regions maximum. Our team have updated the region headings and moved a few campsites around now. Please let us know if you spot anything else.

Seems straightforward to me.

Cancel and rebook at the new prices.

Keep an eye on the promotions and when they get more desperate and offer 20% off cancel and rebook again. Simple

This does tie in with the statement in the AGM review about helping members out so could be that and then again not.

I think the different reductions are made based on how well one particular site is doing, I think it's fairly obvious, at least to me, that there no point in giving bigger discounts on sites that are doing fairly well and no pint is giving any for some sites.  Chatsworth isn't on the list (reviewed as overcrowded today), York RP and neither is Melrose which is always full or very full when I've been no matter no what the season, and neither is River Bremish which are two sites coming up for me so no savings there frown and a few others.

So in essence it's a form of dynamic pricing but whatever the reason it's a win if you want to go to one of those sites or have already booked.

Some organisations are making their discounts very easy to get...

the well own Morris Leisure commercial group, which we will be using in a few days time, has just a simple 3 for 2 offer which runs from October to end of March.

There's even another chunk off for being a CAMC/C&CC member...

The basic pitch price is £39.40, the CAMC site we are on (courtesy of a voucher👍) is £46.10...that on its own is a real difference as the commercial also has wifi included. There is no viable wifi here....(yes I know you have to pay for a dog or an awning....we have neither, so not relevant ...)

throw in the discounts as in the copied text below and the total for three nights is just £70....£23.33 a night...almost exactly half the current site price.

now that's a pretty hefty discount and so easy to get.

Bit perplexed by your reply but thanks for it.

The 6 regions mentioned were sufficient to have those sites that were wrongly placed put into their correct region. You have a heading for Wales and the Midlands. At least 5 of those sites that I mentioned can be found in the Midlands and Southport could easily have been placed in the Northern one. The errors were not made due to trying to shoehorn sites into a region that may be not have been categorised, merely someone being incompetent. If they didn't have any oversight then they could quite easily have consulted a Site Directory. However there does seem to be a team so probably not a lone person. Does anyone proof read these things?

BTW - As I write the "team" do not seem to have updated anything.
