Caravan Club UK Sites

I recently reviewed some useful applications for the phones and tablets. At the time I was completely unaware that the Caravan Club had created a UK Site finder application.

Thankfully a couple of posts on a Forum highlighted that the Caravan Club UK Sites app was available on both Android & Apple devices.

I downloaded the app today and I thought I would share my initial thoughts with you.

The application is really straight forward and is instantly recognisable for members who book their sites using the online facility on the Caravan Club website. Its beautifully laid out using Caravan Club colours, evocative background imagery and where applicable site photographs.

The navigation is really straight forward, Once logged in you can search for sites, browse your Favourite locations and review your bookings you have made already. Thankfully for anyone who is stuck a help section is also available.

 

Searching & booking

The Site search is excellent and as mentioned the process is similar to the Caravan club site. You can either use your current location, or a specific town, county or postal code to start the search. Specific criteria can be set for any site, such as disabled access, WiFi and Open all year options. You can also select to show affiliated sites, Certificated locations or Club sites. You can review the results either by using a map or a clear list of the sites showing all relevant information. At this point you can save any sites you like by clicking the star. You can review these sites in the “My Favourites” on the start screen.

After you have chosen the site you wish to stay at you can then book directly from your device. Using the handy calendar on screen, it already knows your details that you have saved on your profile online and you can instantly – book a pitch while you are out and about. It really is that simple.

Bookings that you have made either on the website or the handy application are all displayed in one handy list. It shows you the site, the dates and pitch type that you have opted for. You can also view in greater detail the booking like the price breakdown the Reference number and specifics on the site itself.

My conclusion on the application is excellent. It’s a well executed, well thought out and very clear application that any member will enjoy using. In time I expect this application will get better with more functionality, I would like to see the option of adding my bookings to my calendar directly on my device and also being able to open Apple Maps to start Navigation to the site when I’m ready to travel there..

It is available for free from the Google Play store, and the Apple App Store.
