Having trawled through the ACSI Books I thought readers may like a list of the new ACSI Card sites for 2016. There are some good ones in there, and I'll do a bit more work on them over the weekend, and add more details - this website doesn't like spreadsheet

    Wow, a lot of work there Val, thanks. In some ways I find the second, drop out list, more interesting and I wonder how many of those campsites have gone over to different schemes or are now operating independently? Given that ACSI have uped their rates for
    2016 you would think it would make it more attractive?

    There is at least one site which 'dropped out' because it didn't pass muster with the ACSI inspectors, or reviews from customers were consistently poor.  

    I suspect there are several others which are reducing the number of touring pitches, and increasing the number of mobile homes.

    It will be interesting to see the Camping Cheques guide when that arrives,.

    I too have been looking through the ACSI guide; one site which is new to ACSI (although it hasn't got the "new" logo with its entry), is La Ferme des Aulnes, page 50, nr 1267.  This is a site we have sometimes used for 2 or 3 nights on the way home, and
    always accepted Camping Cheques.  I will be very interested to see the 2016 CC guide too, to see whether it still will accept CC for 2016, or just ACSI.

    The other site which we use CCs for isn't in the ACSI scheme for 2016 (maybe 2017??!!), so i can still use my leftover cheques there next year.  But I won't be needing to buy any more cheques at this rate.....

    Wow ValDa, great post.  I have to ask how come you have time for this very useful job the weekend before Christmas??  Are you not celebrating, super organised or avoiding the entire situation???

    Having trawled through the ACSI Books I thought readers may like a list of the new ACSI Card sites for 2016. There are some good ones in there, and I'll do a bit more work on them over the weekend, and add more details - this website doesn't like spreadsheet
    formatting so I'll see what I can do.. The sites which have disappeared will be in the next post:

    Yes, it was.  We stayed there a couple of years ago on an overnighter prior to going to the tunnel.  Felt a bit run down to me (was no longer a CC site then) appeared to be used a lot for the nearby Kent showground.  Toiletblock seemed to have seen better
    days, but looking at the website there appears to be a new block now.  No hardstandings from what I remember.

    I can definately think of one that Val may be referring to that didn't pass ACSI muster, close to Calais & open all year too. They are expanding their statics & the facilities are poor really, especially in winter but they are open! Bordeaux Lac is another
    loss for open all year although the pitches were poor. It will be interesting to see what these sites will charge now. Regards, Roy

    We stayed at the site in Bordeaux on our return from Spain in November. Would agree the pitches are not great but there are a number of H/S and being open all year was very handy, we were there for 3 days and it was busy with new folk arriving and departing
    every day, will be interesting to see if it will stay open all year.

    I think perhaps 'Open all Year' sites do rather well without ACSI, as there are so few of them.  They have a ready made market already, and probably feel that they can charge full price as people will have little alternative.

    I think perhaps 'Open all Year' sites do rather well without ACSI, as there are so few of them.  They have a ready made market already, and probably feel that they can charge full price as people will have little alternative.

    I'm sure your right, now they have used Acsi to build up a clientele base.

    There is a site at Sully sur Loire which is open all year.  It took the ACSI card for a number of years, then one year it dropped out of ACSI, I think it was 3 years ago.  The next year it was back in, and is still in for 2016.  It's still open all
    year.  Wonder what their reason was for coming back to ACSI?

    Many years ago when I visited SW France in early June for the first time, I was surprised at the mind-set that prevailed that the season wasn't due to start "so early". The temperatures were roasting yet they didn't seem to want to capitalise on the weather.

    Ina, I heard that it was because standards had gone down so much in 2012 that they 'failed to be included' for the following year, though they were in 2014.  The ACSI inspectors seem to be quite rigorous and one year there were some very bad reviews and
    even mentions on forums - such as 'Don't go there................'!

    There are Camping Cheques sites which have also been missing for a year and then come back again -- possibly for similar reasons.

    Has the overall number of sites stayed the same? Interested to know whether they are still expanding.

    The cost per year used to be about 1000 Euros I believe so for a small site they would think carefully about whether the increased revenues offset the additional cost of being an ACSI member.

    There is at least one site which 'dropped out' because it didn't pass muster with the ACSI inspectors, or reviews from customers were consistently poor.  

    I suspect there are several others which are reducing the number of touring pitches, and increasing the number of mobile homes.

    It will be interesting to see the Camping Cheques guide when that arrives,.

    I agree with you especially in Spain a lot of sites seem to be going the mobile / bungalow route

    Taking into account new sites, and taking off those which have dropped out, the total number of sites accepting the ACSI Card has increased by around 200 this year.

    Whether it's the tablet I'm using, I don't know, but when I want to quote a message in my reply, the box stays blank.  So I try again and when I click on reply, there they are, 2, 3, or more!  Must be a gremlin, have edited them out now.

    Back to your quote, Val; interesting to hear that.  We have stayed there on a number of occasions, but it was always ok.  The last time must have been 2 years ago, and there did seem to be new owners then.

    A site only has to have about 25 extra night stays a month in the off season at the €14 rate to break even. It probably also takes a year or two for the number of visitors to build up. Perhaps the campsites are concerned about paying the fee and not getting
    extra visitors so they don't see it as a good investment. Or perhaps they spend a year or two in the system and then feel they can manage without the scheme?

    And a site like Le Letty - hugely popular and expensive at full price in summer - is only opening from 20 June to 4 September 2016 and not bothering with either of the ACSI or Camping Cheque discount schemes. For them it's full price or close the shop.
