I was hoping the guide book would be out by now as we (family) are wanting to do the Marcher Castles Way this summer. We will be camping but wild camping will be a step too far unless it's an emergency so can anyone recommend campsites on or near the route?
Any other tips or hints?
You used the mapping on Pitchup ? They do also highlight camps that aren't bookable on pitchup, but you can see what's near the route.
Just used google
Any other tips or hints?
not sure this is the same?

but using cycletravel to plot a route it's possible then to search for campsites close to it.
Not sure how these campsites fit into your plans as I started the route in Montgomery but I camped at these when I did route last month, both right next to route and were ok for the night.
That looks promising.
KAW has a resource map in Google but not found one for MCW.
I need to find out how I can overlay a gpx group Google maps, as I can't search for campsites in the ride with GPS map for example.

you can import GPX into this, and map it out, and then query for campsites close to route:
