CL Reviews - Pictures?
When leaving a review about a CL can you add pictures? I've just left a review and had a photograph ready to post but I couldn't find anywhere to add it.

No, sadly you can’t add pictures to a review.🙁

You could try starting a thread with the name of the CL in the CL or UK section and post your picture there ADD. It's always good to see pictures of CLs.
(Actually I think I might have put some in the "what are you doing today section" earlier in the year.)

Yeah, know what you mean. I usually take photos and sometimes do reviews, but elsewhere, where photos can be posted.
You could open a new thread, and advise its for posting photos and a link to CL website (if they have one). I did something similar for Small private sites a few weeks ago. I’m sure lots of CL users would be interested.
Posting photos on here can be a PITA at times. 😁

Thanks to both of you. I've done as you suggested. Enjoy the photo. It's was a lovely afternnoon.

Looks good. Come on then, what's the CL's name and where is it?

OOPs, sorry ADD, I've just seen your other post naming the site.

On the wider point of adding photos to reviews. Weren't we told sometime ago that in order to add photographs to CL reviews we would have to have permission of the CL owner which might not be forthcoming. Better to do what you have done here, just add them to a post. You do have the option of adding up to five photographs.

I made exactly the same point a couple of days ago, but unfortunately most CC members don't come onto CT and read the postings, so would not have picked up on the suggestion.

You won't find any argument from most on here but until the club make it compulsory or at least ask somewhere in the vicinity of the review area then it isn't going to happen. Must admit to being guilty of this myself but I have done my lines and handed them into teacher. Just ask Moulesy.

There is no doubt that the CLs that don’t make the effort to post pics of their CL are doing themselves out of potential business. People buy with their eyes it’s a fact, and the more forward thinking CLs - Newton Grove comes to mind , must definitely increase their business by showing what is to be expected. A picture is worth a thousand words so they say- yes, I do believe they are.

Two points
CL Owners - Self-support Group
For the past few years (and with no support from the club) a few CL owners - including myself - have managed a self-support group for CL owners. If you are visiting a CL and feel that they might benefit from some additional support, please let them know about our group which now numbers over 500 CLs. CL Owners Group Website & Contact
Our recent newsletter to owners included this advice:
Poor photos = poor occupancy
If you are suffering from a lack of bookings, could it be because you either don’t have any photos of your CL, or that the photos you do have don’t ‘sell’ your CL? Members frequently say that they won’t even consider booking a CL without any photos. They also like to see what the entrance is like, where they will be siting their van, what the views will be and who they are staying with (you). Don’t complain about occupancy if your CL photos are taken on a dull day, the grass looks long, the field has puddles in it, or the CL looks unkempt & untidy.
Secondly...
Facebook - a good resource for CL review - often with pictures.
There are many caravan and motorhome related Facebook 'Groups', but perhaps the most relevant is Caravan & Motorhome Club Site & CL Reviews Only
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1793261070745241/
If you are on Facebook, it is worth joining. I personally find it a darn sight easier to use than CT, but I accept that Facebook is not for everyone.

The trouble with Facebook is that the reviews have sunk to the bottom of the page in a snap of the finger. I find the Club CL pages much more enlightening. Except that is for those CL owners who don't put much detail and no photograph but surely the same owners are unlikely to go on Facebook? I just wish that when people did reviews they included useful information especially for those of us that want to know about the ease of access to habitation and bus services!

David - I take your point about Facebook Reviews 'dropping', but all facebook groups have a handy 'search' feature (often overlooked) on the left hand side of the group page. By putting the CL name that you may be interested in, into the search function, you can search the group for any comments or reviews about the CL you have in mind. Ted

Thanks for a mention Merve.
There are quite a few listings with little or no reviews and no photos maybe they don't make the effort or dont have to! This doesn’t mean they should be avoided, members need to do some detective work! They maybe in amazing locations etc.
I know of at least one which has 1 review, no images and members struggle to get a pitch there.
Some members prefer to keep the “Gems” to themselves. Hopefully they are busy sites as if they get no reviews it could mean no bookings and closure!0
