Frequently asked questions

Why are you automating access to Club campsites?

We have installed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology on site to help us offer you the best and most efficient service, freeing up staff for other important jobs on site and speeding up the check-in process which benefits you the member but also shows the Club as a good neighbour by reducing the impact on the local roads.

Our trial in 2023 helped us to enhance the experience, and working with our sites teams we will continue to evolve this service to ensure it works as efficiently as possible.
