Good evening campers…

Well after a lot of planning, dead ends and a long build up, freecamping in the UK is now setup on youcamp.

Now when you register you can select whether you are a camper or campsite owner, once logged in you can access the freecamp database and see what sites are offering freecamping. If your a site owner you can check out the competition from other campsites as well as add your own campsite (more than one if your a campsite entrepreneur). Add a photo, web link, facility details and more.

Please take a look and see what you think.

 OTHER EXCITING NEWS:

After having such good success with the latest web guy, we have decided to go for a full youcamp re-design, improving the layout bringing up to date and adding some exciting features, a fully integrated blog (sorry to this one but your getting the boot). Photo and text reviews, and better google maps integration. Fingers crossed in around 4 weeks time it should be going live, with the whole new look perfectly setup and you won’t notice any changes to your accounts or videos.

Its all very exciting, and today we have over 70 videos watched in 24 hours….we’re getting busier…

 Good afternoon Campers.

QUICK YOUCAMP NEWS

1. The Google Maps function on the site is being rewritten this weekend so that the postcode finder will work perfectly. And map the dot/icons on the map perfectly.

2. EVEN MORE EXCITING NEWS: FREE CAMPING is finally on its way again, after the previous web guy disappeared its taken ages to get round to finishing it and finding someone else. But Lee from Design14 web development has stepped up to the plate, and by the end of next week (18th of September 2009) the freecampers database and registration will all be up and running.

Firstly I hope to get some UK campsites signed up to the free camping idea before making it available to the world of campers, so that there are some available when people sign up and there is no disappointment.

It would be great if people can spread the word to any campsites they go to, or even mention youcamp when booking a stay. You never know they may let you stay a couple of nights free in exchange for a video on youcamp right there and then.

Fingers crossed with a bit of effort calling/emailing/pestering campsites around the uk the site will soon be flooded with freecamping opportunities and eventually full to the brim with campsite reviews.
