New Camping Website.

A friend just posted me this  web address for a new Free Campsite  directory. Obviously just in the development process at present.   

It might be handy.

My thoughts? well firstly, when posting a link, set the target to open in a new window.. that's nice..,
Secondly, if you regard this:

premium-membership-badge
PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP

We will have a PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP that will be available a few weeks after the FREE MEMBERSHIP is available. This membership will cost $29.95/year. This entitles members to access all of the FREE sections as well as:
low-cos-camp-categoryLOW COST CAMPS
house-sit-categoryHOUSE SITTING
park-over-categoryPARK OVERS
25-plus-category$25+

(Cvan Parks, Camp Grounds)
membership-card

Each Premium Member will also be issued with an Electronic Card that will enable them to receive discounts on businesses in our Preferred Business Directory.

This alone will enable our members to save Hundreds, if not Thousands of dollars each year.

We will be releasing the PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP shortly after the FREE MEMBERSHIP is available, so REGISTER YOUR INTEREST in becoming a member by clicking the link below.

To be worth your $30.00 well as little Becky says... "Fill ya boots man"

Thank you for that site address Brickies - have just saved it as a favourite so I can have a good look at it over the next week - but looks very good.

Have also registered on free range camping site - lets see how good it is when they want us to stump up with the $30

Just what we need. More of these sites and forums to divide the efforts of the travellers. How many of these are you each going to assist in keeping them up to date? Lets have a couple more and the clientele will be so divided that none of them will be kept in good order. Let us just support the early established ones so we have the full force of the travellers getting just a few fully up to date. Remember the old adage "divide and conquer." If we encourage the battle of the free camping sites the battle scars will be showing and none of them will be in good order.

I was not having a crack at you in particular. I was more bemoaning the fact that everyone wants to be a star and produce their own glossy site instead of getting with the strength and assisting to improve what we already have. The more sites we have the less the strength of each one of them.

The site has been around for a while, I first found it about July 2014, regardless, the more the better, competition inspires excellence.

The strong will prosper whilst the also rans will fall by the wayside.wink

That may apply to commercial enterprises but with all these sites that are maintained by the users it just means that none of them will develop their full potential if the user base is fractured.

The concept still applies Peter, as a matter of interest even if it didn't what would you suggest be done about it?smile

There is not much that anyone can do about the proliferation of the new sites. I will just keep up with my interest in the older listings like CAW, Gary Stratton's MyParkList and Badgers Reports.

All very well but My Park List & Badgers don't show many free and low cost sites.

Bill, that's why any one site is not enough. You use these with CAW to get the lower cost and free camps. MyParkList is the most complete caravan park site there is. When Gary set it up he went through most of the publications and yellow pages he could find. There were not too many missed and CF members plugged the holes. Since then we users have assisted in keeping in keeping it up to date when parks have opened, closed and changed names.

I have found not many member of this forum support free/ budget forum on this site so I have found I have need to look elsewhere for report about site.
