How many people use and review the POI's?

Just returned from a trip in the motorhome.
Although I have often reviewed parking spots ,This is the first time I have put new places on.Didn't realise how easy it was, so will definitely carry on.

When I started my yearly trip from Switzerland to the UK almost 20 years ago, wildcamping was most helpful to plan my stays. A few years ago, I noticed that almost all of the POIs are outdated, not reviewed and after driving somewhere just do discover that I wasn't allowed to stay, I went to other apps like WEBSITE BLOCKED BY ADMIN. At the beginning, I wrote dozens of reviews, mostly about the closure, but somehow that should be the job of the locals (as I do here in Switzerland), not those who come over for just 2-3 weeks. I got the impression that although wildcamping still exists, nobody cares about it anymore. Since 3-4 years, I only use the app when I'm really desperate. If I wouldn't be a the lazy guy I am, I would have cancelled my membership long ago.

The forum here is full of members from the UK, I got the Impression that it should be so easy to keep everything updatet, but sadly it isn't.

I agree; it is disappointing when users fail to provide feedback regarding existing POIs and to add new ones. You say that it's the job of the locals, but I can see no POIs at all in Switzerland.
 
Slightly frustrating week. We have just done our seco
Frusratingly, many of the POI's have no reviews at all, so it's disappointing to get there and find a big "no overnight parking" sign. If only I had known. And others reporting a few years ago that it was okay, only to find it is no longer so but nobody has bothered to post a review saying so.

I have no idea how many are full members of this site and thus have access to the POI information but it would be damned handy if all those that do would please please post a review, even if to say sorry they have banned you from stopping there now.

We did find places but not as easy as we would have hoped and I have reviewed all the ones we visited including the bad ones.
if you had navigated the NC 500 in a clockwise direction 👍
as is generally asked for motor homers to do 👋
to save issues with large vehicles needing to pass each other going in opposite directions 🥵
then the signs facing you would have read "sta ye a wee while and take a dram" 🥃
