We were away for 6 weeks in Germany (mainly) and Belgium and used all ACSI sites, as we have a twin axle caravan and the book states which sites will take T/As. They are certainly not all out of the way; the most isolated was probably Parc le Clusure in Belgium, but it's only about 6 miles from 2 small towns and has a shop.

I agree with Mrs Bonce, some of the most popular sites give ACSI discount. And not all small sites are cheaper. The ACSI 12euro sites are often cheaper and better than some municipal sites where we have paid more than that. One big advantage of the book is that it tells you when the sites are open in low season, and you know almost exactly what you are going to pay, no pitching up and finding it's beyond your budget. However some ACSI sites don't offer all the full season facilities, so you pay less and get less.

My feeling after using several of the ACSI sites is that they are a bit out-of-the-way, and not in the best positions. They need to offer a discount (i.e. the cheap ACSI price) otherwise campers might go elsewhere.

I have the 2015 book and card but don't feel the savings are enough to pay for the book in the first place. Two of the best sites we used this summer (camping for two weeks) were not ACSI sites and were only a few euro more than the ACSI sites we had used earlier in the holiday.

I won't be buying it again and think that it's only worth it if you need a map of sites before you go away, or you are staying on holiday a longish time before the season gets going and are therefore counting the euros.

Sorry, Beeny, you must me using a different ACSI card to me. I`ve just come back from Brittany and used my card at Les Embruns, Du Poulquer at Benodet, and at Ar Kleguer at St. Pol de Leon all of which are great sites in great locations. We saved the cost of the ACSI card in the first 2 nights.

We saved 26 euros per night on just one site, on certain dates, using the ACSI Card, so for us buying the book paid for itself on just one night, and gave us an additional discount on that day of 15 euros!

It's possible to look at sites on the website, to see if the sites you're likely to stay at are in the scheme, and if so to calculate the savings per night using the ACSI Card. It's a popular scheme, and many people obviously have a very different opinion about whether it's worth buying.

We have used the ACSI Card for 12 years now since its launch and have saved a lot of money. Certainly none of the campsites have been out of the way. Most we stay on are nearly half price. You can save the price of the books cards etc on a 1 night stay. Would not leave the UK without it off season.
