I just went to have a look at that site and all the information is for members only. It may or may not be worth the membership fee, but I don't think I want to pay to find out.

I don't have too much of an issue staying on sites with caravans and vans. If fact when I was in Kircudbright I had a few camper van people come across to talk to me and ask questions about camping from a motorbike.

That said, at a sight just outside Edinburgh, one of the vans sounded like they were having a tiny rave inside just before 'quiet time'. I'm sure they were having a great time, but I doubt they were awake to hear my bike rumble past their van at 8.00 am the next morning.

Yes there is an annual membership fee--not much--and keeps it to people who really want a basic, quiet site thats usually very cheap and not overbooked. I simply pull up the map in the area that I want to camp in and then contact the sites directly to secure a spot. Its worked well for me so far, and even encourages me to go back as I know what I'm getting.
