Camp Site Database

[DaveS]

Right I've decided that I'm going to build a comprehensive camp site database.
I've just for the first time written a module which integrates with this forum software so now I know I can get that working then I can proceed with the actual build..... so.....

Lets have a wish list of what you'd like to see, what you think are the important features, etc...

Thanks.
That's me just saying overcome one of the major hurdles to making this seamlessly work with the forum software. So it will look totally integrated, used forum log-in's, etc...

As to the features, what would you like to search on? Think about if you were looking for a campsite what would be essential for you to know?

What kicked this off for me was doing a search and not being able to find a simple list in a given area of top recommended sites. Reviews are fine but you have to plough through them.

Area
Tents / Caravans / Cabins / Statics

Campsite size (we prefer smaller sites)
Midge population
Cost (per person or per pitch)

Hi Dave,

Think the other guys have covered what we would want to know. The only additions we would like to see would be pictures on the reviews, as they tell more than words, and a location map showing the sites proximity to main roads etc for the noise aspect. Oh and the one that gets my goat more than any ... level pitches !!! what is a level pitch, to me its just that, FLAT, not a slight slope or a field that rolls like an incoming tide, a flat level pitch for larger tents is a must. Smaller units are fine and this should be made clear.

Dave there are a few camp site POI's about for satnavs, a lot of these have some extra adata, will see what I can find for you..
