Thank you Harryb but I mean a list of sites referred to earlier in this discussion showing sites no longer part of CC.
On the Camping Cheques website each site which has dropped out is highlighted in a blue background and has a grey 'banner' at the top of their details.. There isn't actually a list of sites. Why don't you ring Camping Cheques themselves and ask (the French phone number not the English one).
Five of the right Belgian sites have dropped out and here are some of the dropped out French sites:
This campsite has left the network during the seasonFrance - Brittany
The campsite is located in a charming town, Jugon Les Lacs, offering large camping pitches. Discover the Aqua'Lac Paradise, the covered leisure swimming pool of 1000 m² with 5 water slides. Direct and secured access to the lake from the campsite, ideal for angling, canoe, sailing, mountainbiking...- / 100
Camping Blue Bayou
This campsite has left the network during the seasonFrance - Languedoc-Roussillon
300 m from one of the most beautiful Meditteranean beach, Blue Bayou awaits you in a friendly and falmilly environment.6.7 / 1029Château de Galinée
This campsite has left the network during the seasonFrance - Brittany
5 minutes from the fine sand beaches, between Cap Fréhel and Saint-Malo, the Château de Galinée is an ideal place to discover the region. Large pitches in 14 ha park and a very nice swimming pool.7.4 / 1022La Source Hautot sur Mer
This campsite has left the network during the seasonFrance - Upper Normandy
Situated just 3 km from the beach, in the heart of the Normandy countryside, this campsite ensures calm and a maximum of comfort. Admire the luscious green environment alongside a river and close to Dieppe.7.5 / 10340 -

Thanks for that Val - very helpful. I have already found this year that the printed Camping Cheque guide is pretty useless with many listed sites having left.
The new owners of CCheque really need to get things sorted out if they are not to end up with a worthless business

An ACSI site proprietor told me a few years back that the site paid 1000 Euros a year for being members. This may have changed but is quite a lot to pay and maybe comparable to CC.
Now that ACSI have the app. with all European sites easily searched it is even less likely that people would choose CC in preference.
For several years now we have been using ACSI sites almost exclusively but this year we realised that we wepre missing out and started using municipals and other sites listed in the Club's handbook. We discovered some gems.

Like AD just done the online survey. Main comments were that there seems to be an an awful lot of people that do not know the advantages of Camping Cheques-my quote for a BF crossing next June is £361.10 cheaper-and that if the purchase of the cheques was
a way to access cheaper prices paid for on site that may encourage greater use.As said we would not plan our holiday around using cheques but can use the three needed to access the ITX fares with no problem and whilst many will find no advantage to this method I would think there are a similar number who could benefit if they knew
about the advantages.0 -
I completed a survey for the CC yesterday on the subject of Camping Cheques and in the "other comments" box told them I would use them only as long as they were combined with discounted ferry deals.
I did wonder if the survey indicated that the club are also considering its(camping cheques) future
Was that a survey open to anyone or just members that have purchased Camping Cheques in the past?

Hi David, There was a link in an e-mail from the club and as there was no need to enter any personal details assume that it was the latter ?
I could post the link here if that is an OK thing to do??

I don't see any reason why not? Thanks.

Hi David, looks odd but it did wok when I pasted it into the browser. My stock response to all comment henceforth will be;"David Klyne said it was OK"!

Thanks for posting, I have made the link live.

PS just realised that you can only complete the survey if you have actually purchased them in the last two years.

It seems the Club surveys a sample membership on a regular basis on all sorts of things. I had one a couple of months back, right now I cannot remember what it was about but I did do it. I have never purchase camping cheques so obviously not party to this one.

Although there are less sites with cc this year I find the ACSI websites not very user friendly. One site gives the prices within a colour but when you search on the eurocampings and look at sites it gives a guide price which is completely different.
If I'm missing out can someone tell me how to find the price for a particular site.
Someone complained about cc and the admin charge of £6, on the ACSI you have to pay £14 for the book and a "free" card, so 14 nights in France will cost me a extra £1 per night, with cc I'll pay an extra 40p per night.

On the ACSI website you need to make sure you are in the www.campingcard.co.uk section. The price band is displayed underneath the campsite name and address details. Prices are shown iin a particular colour related to each price band, before you open up the page with more information on that particular site. Opening up the page will show you the dates when this price is available to you with the ACSI Card. To get that price you will need to pre-purchase the ACSI Guides, map, and a detachable card, and in the guide the site price at ACSI Card rates is displayed under the brief details in the guide. If you buy the guide from ACSI itself it will cost you around £11.00. Some sites are in both schemes and on some the Camping Cheque price is cheaper than the ACSI price, but on many more it's the other way around. Some sites in the ACSI scheme are just 11 euros per night.
The Eurocampings bit is the main website of all 'ACSI inspected' sites, and the price displayed there is what you'll pay if you're not using the ACSI Card.

Thanks Val, that makes sense, I was going around in circles on the different sites and couldn't see the price to pay. I have now got to the right bit
