2009 Camping Card is Sold Out! "Do Not Phone"
There are no more available until the 2010 guide is printed in December. Please put your email address in the 'Product Update Mailing List' on the left hand side of this page and we will email you when we are taking pre-orders in November, we will also offer a discount.

There is no up front commitment and no Camping Cheques to purchase, simply present the card at reception of participating campsites to gain your discount. Discounts are available most of the year, except July and August. Small charges can be made by the campsite to cover tourist or environment taxes and waste disposal.

The only thing you need to do is write your name and address on the back of the ACSI camping card, that presses out from the cover, (see bottom right of picture). You can of course use the campsites all year and at only £10.50 you only need to use it 1-2 nights to start saving.

A clever alphabetical key allows you to choose exactly the campsite you need; C means they accept dogs (which many do), E by a river, F by a lake, and G close to sea. I with public transports.

ACSI also produce a DVD campsite guide that lists 8600 campsites including the ones in the discount scheme but does not need to be bought to support this guide.

Essential for all campsite users.
