suggest you get an ACSI card if you are going out of peak season.

 

Excuse my ignorence but what is an ACSI card? Is it like a Camping Carnet or is it better?

---

When you buy the ACSI Campsite book it contains a card which entitles you to a discounted rate. Two weeks ago we stayed at La Bien Assise near Calais and it cost £10 a night, a lot less than just turning up. Have a look here http://www.eurocampings.co.uk/en/

.  If all of us did that there would be no campsites in France and then where would all us Brits go!!!

I suppose that if one has a Caravan or a Tent then one is tied to a Campsite really

Shame though because I do wonder where some of these Site owners get their prices from. I am looking at one particular site UK and in High Season it is £21 per night for a patch of grass and extra £1 for the poor old dog

Seems a bit steep to me. Please don't give me the one about having to pay Staff - there are only 4 of them including the Manager.

The site is always full in High Season so somebody is having a right result. Surely Councils cannot charge that much in rates?

All the above is briliant, thanks a bunch guys, keep the suggestions coming, we hope to go end of may 2007, so I think Id better do some saving up for the wine/cheese thing!

tres bon indeed

normandy - there is a beautiful campsite at courseulles which is just to the left of caen as you look at the map!
it's a gorgeous small town, with a harbour and lovely beach. close to bayeaux and the d day beaches.
