Well, I waited until it went live. Where do l start ? UTTER PANTS best describes my experience.  The queuing system failed to direct me where I wanted to go, I ran out of battery trying to search CLs and to cap it my wife's smart phone "is not compatible with the CAMC app ". sealed

I think we could start a whole new thread on "where were you suggested" when typing in "location".

 

I've just typed in "New Forest" and was suggested somewhere in India cool

It’s not that easy EuroT. For a start you need to know what the Club Sites are called otherwise you get a full run down of Europe! It doesn’t recognise Counties such as Yorkshire, but operates via the Clubs own geographical names. And so on…… And it lost my queue place twice for no apparent reason.

Have a go at finding a CL on the booking system. My main filter criteria is location, then price. It failed miserably, and is so slow I gave up. The CLs it did come up with had no mention of the price. I put in North Wales……and got Haverfordwest. It’s total pants as far as helping find a CL. I shall be doing it via the long winded Country, County, Town method. Either that or SearchforSites. At this rate my little black book will be resurrected, it’s not as long winded I know that.😡

Is the fuss over now? 

 I just now (9 pm) logged in and loaded the new app on my trusty I pad -  instantaneous.

Then thought I would try a dummy booking for a week in 2023. It said I was in a queue - but the queue only lasted two or three seconds - no more  The booking was easy and straight forward - it asked which Club site I wanted, but didn’t  ask for date of birth or mothers maiden name - just type of vehicle and sizes . Then simply offered me prices for different grades of pitch for each separate day in the week in question - gave me a total and invited me to pay..

If I really had wanted that Club site the booking it couldn’t be easier for me. The whole procedure took less than a minute.

And if Iwanted aCL I would just look in the handbook 

Perhaps everything is easier with an app on an I pad than some other sorts of kit

That's how it worked for me lateish last night....I could have booked easily, but didnt .

im wondering if there are other problems down the line from pressing 'book' like the double taking of some fees...not somewhere I will be investigating as I've no need to.

I might have a play with the CL section as this is more where I might use the site.

I used the new app on a newish iPad.

That’ll be a new range in the Club Shop….a Club based World Atlas. I put in Anglesey and got some pub on Anglesey Road in London! Very useful🤨

oh dear, who thought this new booking system was a good idea? its truly awful, badly designed, glitchy and very very annoying . I may even consider cancelling my membership if its not sorted by renewal time.

Pass on any tips please YT. I too am on a newish up to date IPad. I couldn’t see any prices for CLs via book now.

Are you using the new App? Although it looks like it is only for Europe, it now covers the UK as well.

TDA, I used the 'show CL' button and all the CLS came up on the map with little price tags against each one. Zoom in or out to show more or less sites.

again, I didn't book...because you can't...and no price details, but I found the website more clunky and slower to respond than trying the same search on the new app which was fine...swap from one cL to another to check exact location etc

also, every cL says it's open to members and non members.
