Thanks for that Val, I hope you used Copy and Paste!

Can you let me know if L'Amfora, in Spain, is on the list for this year?

Thanks.

An I ought to mention again, the option of 'Best Deal' (free to download card and guides) which offers more sites with discounts than Camping Cheques. It would seem to be a good alternative option.

Just a word of warning, the Camping Navigator site of which Best Deal sites are part, actually offers 7,700 sites but around 700 of those offer the Best Deal discount and these are clearly marked on the website. Once you've signed up for the free card you can download the free guides and store them on your laptop, or tablet, or print them out if you're old-fashioned!

Have spoken to Alan Rogers who know as much as we do

However they have not had any 2018 paper cheques to offer with the ferry deals, so are offering their own site vouchers.

From another forum someone has commented that they contacted the Camping Travel Club in France and were told the guide books have been discontinued and the person spoken to didn't know when the website and App information would be updated - and speculated that perhaps it would be mid-February!

So for those who use Camping Cheques still - watch this space but I don't think we will try to buy any more cheques at the moment.

But aren't Alan Rogers and Camping Cheques one of the same and what are their so called site vouchers and how much are they. Or are the site vouchers the same as those from the CMAC.

This is all getting a bit messy. I have 5 cheques to use up. May use them in the UK soon so I don't get lumbered with them.

Alan Rogers are NOT Camping Cheques - they are just one of the Franchisees selling them in this country. The other (well the same, actually now since the Caravan Club bought Alan Rogers) are the Caravan Club. When they were just plain Alan Rogers they were the local 'branch' of Camping Cheques, dealing with all the paperwork, ordering, etc. I get the feeling that 'the Camping Travel Club' have a different relationship with their 'franchise holders' than previously.

The Caravan Club are still offering paper Camping Cheques according to a quote on the Caravan Club website: "Spoken to the Club Travel Team today. They have had no contact with Camping Cheque in 2018. They still have paper cheques available for 2017/2018, that still have 12 months before they expire." I imagine,though I don't know, that the 'Alan Rogers vouchers' are the same thing as the Caravan Club vouchers.

I looked at the Camping Travel Club website today and some of the site details have now got 2018 dates (Chateau du Gandspette for instance) - but they are in an odd format. At least it looks as if there is something happening.

Yes, on another forum, someone tried, phoned Camping Travel Club - and was told something like 'an important announcement will be made in January' and to wait until then. Nothing has been announced so far, that I'm aware of, but a Dutch friend of mine has said that no one in the Netherlands can actually purchase Camping Cheques at the moment, nor update their Gold or Silver Cards.

This was posted on teh Caravan and Motorhome Club this afternoon: I contacted the european holidays part of the club today by email today, questioning how much contact they have with the CampingTravelClub, since it was 'reformatted' early last year. I have pasted their reply below ----

Just to confirm that we are in constant contact with Camping Cheques, we are however waiting for confirmation from them on their plans for 2018. I understand your frustration and concern - I have been advised that the Club have a meeting with Camping Cheques in Paris on 31st January, therefore we hope to have some more information after this date regarding which sites will be in the scheme, exchanges on Cheques and so on. When the scheme changed in 2017 unfortunately we lost access to viewing/loading Silver and Gold cards.

The reason we are currently offering our Overseas Site Night Vouchers is so that Members can still get their ferries booked at the cheaper package rates. We have a working relationship with the sites that are taking part in the Overseas Site Night Voucher scheme and we are confident in offering these for 2018 holidays

The Campingcheque website is SLOWLY being updated with qualifying dates and times for 2018. I keep checking it every few days, and there is some progress.

However, they appear to suggest Riva Bella at Ouistreham is included, but I checked direct with Seasonova group, and they say NO for 2018

There is a list of those sites which are 'said to be' accepting Camping Cheques for 2018 on page 1 of this thread. Riva Bella is not amongst them. If anyone has been able to buy Camping Cheques, except from the Caravan and Motorhome Club as part of a ferry-inclusive deal, it would be helpful to know how and where you bought them.

Val A, unfortunately for people that don't look at forums. its still on page 1 of the the Camping Travel Club website for France, with a banner saying 'New'.

You would have thought that whilst updating the website with 2018 dates, they would have first checked and removed sites that aren't accepting them anymore

I had a look for Riva Bella on the French version of the website, and can see that the site is still there, but 'acceptance' details haven't been updated. I can see that lots of site information has been updated for 2018 - but again can't see whether all the sites are the same as on my list overleaf.

Is the website running very slowly for everyone else?
