Advice on ACSI membership/card please
We are having our first trip abroad this summer in our campervan. Having looked at the ACSI website I'm not sure if we would benefit from joining as we will not be using sites in low season. I have read previous posts on ferrys etc which have been very useful.

The ACSI Camping Card will only give you discounts outside peak season, but it’s worth paying tne princely sum of £4.99 for a 3 month sub for the ACSI Campsites Europe app - just as a source of information of 9000 campsite details. Even so you may well stop over at sites they don’t have listed . Go well

As @eurortraveller says, it is only worthwhile having if you travel out of peak season. Better still use the SerchforSites App it covers a much larger proportion of sites than the ACSI App and includes parking places and other types of night stops, e.g. Camping Car Park sites.
Safe travels

Firstly, if landing at Hook of Holland I really would recommend Unique city campsite in Delft | Vakantiepark Delftse Hout but check first where the best price for the site can be found.
The high season can differ considerably from country to country. This year we have 3 1/2 weeks in NL during May/June and Belgium where some dates are high season. For our 3 weeks in France during Aug/Sept we start low season on a site west of Nantes on 25th August. We have ended up booking some sites through the C&MC whilst others have been direct with ACSI rate. You may be able search here if the dates line up for you with cheaper ACSI rates:-

Many thanks for these comments. This is really helpful. If I need further advice for the trip I will put another post on. Any recommendations for sites in Germany would be great as we are planning to take a week to travel from Hook of Holland through Germany to a wedding near Salzburg. Thanks again

In Germany there are lots of campsites and Stellplatze, the equivalent of French Aires, which are specifically for campervans/motorhomes. These normally have water/waste water disposal, some have EHU, but normally no toilet/shower facilities, so you need to be self-contained in that respect. Those along the Moselle and Rhine are mostly right by the river, we've "done" part of that some years ago. Plenty to pick from, but if you're going in peak season, I'd suspect you'd either need to book, or arrive without booking as early in the afternoon as possible (we travelled early June, so had no problem that way).

With regard to Germany I assume you'll be following @InaD advice and using Stellplatz but if not and you want campsites then come back and I'll dig my diaries out for when we used campsites and had a caravan. There are good interesting stops at Regensberg, next to the Danube or further down the river at Straubing. Both great for cycling or sightseeing. Also a good site at Bergen in Bavaria, near the autobahn that will take you easily into Salzburg. Great hill walking and cycling in the area.
