ACSI Camping Card: Discounts only in low season? (1 Viewer)

[Purple2]

The main page for a campsite on the app shows the dates:

View attachment 864553
The discount rates apply to the 'Validity period'.

That’s odd as I only get the opening period on my app which is paid up to Dec ‘24

Have you downloaded all the individual country data ?

I've taken the plunge and just recieved my acsi camping card and books..for €26....
I have a couple of questions
Is it only low season that you get the discounts.....??
I am going to Germany in May and the campsites still seem quite expensive compared to france...
Have I wasted my money ??..
Are stellplatz and s4s better.. ??.
now that I have the books , do I have to pay 26 euros every year , or can I just renew the card itself...
Thanks for any advice..

I live in France where high season is normally July and August when you wont get the discount. Having said that, I'd highly recommend ACSI. It's an annual renewal but for me paid for itself on my very first weekend stop.

We use ACSI all the time, both book and App. We also have a book for all the French sites we picked it up in a big French supermarket. It is quite useful as it also lists private and municipal site. There is a BUT as it is in French but still found it very useful!

Yes and just updated. Still the same.

For what it costs Brian it’s worth getting.
Also many sites will accepting instead of asking for your passport.

We always ask or look for the signs when enquiring at a sites reception. If they do then remember the std cost also includes electric

Thanks Graham...I've got them now..strange thing happened..I paid, they said its been posted..it didn't arrive,..contacted them and they said I should have it but they'll send another one..two days later the pack came....4 days after that, another pack came..now I have 4 books and two cards....the cards are mixed up so I won't know which one will work until I've tried them..

 

[Winger]

I’m willing to buy the spare set. Surely both cards will work

There you go Bazzagas, recoup some of the initial cost

We never used the books when we HAD to have them. The app is much easier to use and seamlessly links to your favourite navigation app.
The digital subscription is a far better eco solution to save trees and saves us money.

Not sure if both will work graham cos when I contacted them they said they would cancel the first card....

I would give you them mate but when i contacted them they said they would cancel the first card and re issue another one but didn't ask for the books back.....plus my missus has mixed the cards up, so I don't know which one is the most recent..

 

[royandsharont]

I think this may be because I think all the new cards this year are like a plastic credit card, not the previous piece of card generically part of the book cover. That was how my mates new one was

The card changes annually. The new one will have a significant 202x graphic and comes attached to the new books.
