With the launch of the usb campsite database it got me thinking who will and who won't add new campsites, I always intended to add some and never got around to it until I bought the new usb last week.
Obviously from the number of votes very few even think about it!!!

I would mention that I do add reviews to the UK Campsite database, which I find a very useful internet site - easy to use, with lots of information and very comprehensive.
I don't really add sites here because I'm not really in the habit of using the database / find other sites more useful.
Not sure why but I find it easier to add Reviews to the usb Database than the normal one- probably psychological!
BTW thanks Nuke for replacement received this morning. First impressions all working ok and have updated. Will report back after several weeks/days use

Interesting Could you say what you dislike about ours or what it is lacking vs elsewhere ?
If I go to uk campsite, I can choose town, county, or name of campsite or search by map. If I search by town, it gives me them in miles away from the town. It then gives me a list which gives the following information (to pick one example) -

I can click directly on map, the campsite's own website, see when it is open, see some of the description and how many reviews there are and there are usually LOADS of reviews.
If I do the same here, I get -

Please mention Motorhome Facts when you contact this campsite
That is, less information on the first page. I have to click through to see more and it doesn't actually say when it is open. It doesn't give me as much information. And it has no reviews, compared to 22 reviews on uk campsite.
So, basically, I find UK campsite quicker, easier, and more information available. That's why.

Same here, and I would be hard pressed to say why, and not just adding Reviews I find the whole site much easier to use, the fact all the options are on the first page, even the background colour I like.

Yep we have the same facilities I think bar miles away from the town afaik which could be added in.

lol the irony here is that if people add more additional reviews here then we will have LOADS as well
Our Campsite database has evolved over time prompted by members (Pete) to add facilities etc, and I am always open to ideas on improvements but the crux of the facility is users adding new sites / additional reviews.
I have tried to make this as easy as possible, tuning the website form and now with icampsites different versions allowing you to do them whilst out mobile quickly and easily, now it is over to the members to keep em rolling in

It does but in iconic form i.e. there is a Calendar symbol top right which if you hover over it says "open all year"

not sure but we do have the icons top right on the summary search results page which show such factors as :
Hook Ups available
Laundry
Toilets
Children Welcome
Dogs Welcome
MH Waste Point
It's always a fine line on the "summary" page as to how much info is too much or too little lol
and remember that ALL of the additional reviews you see on sites on mhf campsite database are by Motorhome / RV Owners, not tent owners, and not caravan owners who might want something different or would rank/review a site differently to a motorhome owner for instance
