Vicarious Books are proud to
be the UK agent for ACSI Publishing BV. We highly
recommend both the ACSI Camping Card and the ACSI
Campsite DVD. The ACSI Camping Card has 1300 more
participating campsites across Europe than Camping
Cheque or other discount camping schemes. With the
CampingCard ASIS discount scheme there is no upfront
outlay for more expensive camping or freedom cheques
that may not be used. The ACSI 2010 Campsite DVD has
8700 camp grounds listed. ACSI inspect all 8700 campsites
annually, but only 1891 of these campsites are in
the Camping Card guide book, so not all campsites
that have an ACSI sticker in reception are in the
discount camping scheme. The ACSI campsite DVD is
a computer database and the level of detail far greater
than is found in any campsite book. The ACSI DVD is
much, much better than the Caravan Club Europe 1 and
2 guides. GPS coordinates are published in both the
ACSI DVD and Camping Card Guidebook in the following
format N44.04658 E28.50102. The ACSI DVD database
system gives you total control to select campsites
that match your exact criteria, wherever you find
yourself in the UK, Ireland, or Europe.
ACSI
Camping Card, the biggest and best discount camping
scheme
The ACSI discount campsite
guide is written completely in English. When you pitch
up for the night at a CampingCard campground you can
save up to 50% off the normal low season campsite
prices. Stay at one of 1891 campsites for €11,
€13 or €15 per night. This price includes
motorhome or car and caravan or tent, electric hook
up and two adults a pet, and showers. The 2010 ACSI
Camping Card scheme has 1891 camping parks dispersed
across Europe to choose from, it is by far the biggest
discount camping scheme.

HERE - To buy your 2010 ACSI Camping Card now.
There is no up front commitment with
the CampingCard ACSI and no Camping Cheques to purchase.
Having bought the guidebook, card enclosed, simply
present the Camping Card at reception of participating
campsites to gain your discounted off season pitch
price. 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 £11.50 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.

Reported confusion, ACSI inspects
over 9000 campsites every year and many display the
ACSI logo, but it is only the 1891 in this year’s
guide that offer a discount. ACSI also produce a DVD
campsite guide that lists 8600 campsites including
the ones in the discount camping scheme but does not
need to be bought to support this guide.
Who should buy the ACSI Camping
Card
The Camping Card scheme is ideal for anyone travelling
in Europe this year. Whether you exclusively pitch
up at campsites or just occasionally like to pit stop
the ACSI Camping Card scheme will save everyone money
and enable you to enjoy your holiday to the full.
Anyone travelling to Italy should have a camping card
as Italian overnight pitch fees are expencive .
Essential for all campsite
users.
