I have booked the last 2 weeks of the summer holidays off this year for our family holiday to France. As it's a bit later this year (20th Aug -1 Sept) I thought I might buy the ACSI card to save some money, thinking we should be able to find some discounted sites for the second week at least.
We are two adults and 2 children (aged 8 and 12) - we would obviously expect to pay the standard rate for the children as they would not be included in the ASCI discount price but this would still mean a significant saving. Has anyone encountered any problems using the ASCI card with more than 2 adults on a pitch?
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
I've just used the ACSI card for the first time this week and it's great and I have two young children and booked three sites using it. Instead of following through with the reservation page on the websites I have e-mailed them first and informed them I have the card and two children. They then e-mailed me back and two have reserved a pitch and amended the price and I pay on arrival and one I have paid the full balance after they amended the booking. Great saving!

We used it a couple of times last year with two children, no problem. We also found the book very useful as a general campsite guide and stayed on one site that we'd found in the book even though they didn't accept the ACSI card until a week later. The site was v ery easonably priced anyway.
