Peak time prices

ah yes, sorry.....however now able to compare fully like with like ACSI and non ACSI included elements...
in most circumstances, I would imagine that ACSI is still a reasonable bargain for uk site users, even though the number of participating sites is still small.
no doubt they're trying to get more on board.

Just a slight detour from the thread, but am I right in thinking that, in the UK anyway, ACSI sites tend to be the large "holiday camp" type sites? In which case they wouldn't be for us, but if it included any small, quiet sites I might be interested.

no idea, M, we are ACSI card holders but have enough THS/CL type sites to keep us going for our short stays in the uk.
as Kjell suggests, perhaps you could check the website?

Why all this talk of ASCI, the OP was looking at peak season so ASCI (even over there) is not available.
If we knew what site the OP was talking about we could fairly compare it to other commercial offerings in the area to see if it really is expensive or not and compare like for like EHU/Awning/Dog/Children etc.

On most sites, you cannot use ACSI in peak times, each site decides the times they will give the discount, so you would need to check the individual site entries.
We would not buy the card just to use in UK as off peak prices on a few CAMC, and most CCC sites, as we get the over 60s discount, are fairly reasonable, and otherwise we would use CLs.

peedee – Ref you post - A site can be ACSI inspected/approved but not in the discount scheme. Thanks for the reminder/info which I had forgotten about. Sites I have noticed in the UK with the ACSI signs were probably ‘inspected’ rather than part of the discount scheme as I can’t recall staying at any of those on the ACSI link Deleted User User posted.

Still in Cornwall, still one of the 40 Uk sites offering off peak ACSI discounts, still a lot cheaper then Club site Trewethett Farm, still the same view, but hardly a large "holiday camp". This is Beacon Cottage Farm at St Agnes.

We know that site well, as we're often in St Agnes. I thought the picture might be from when you stayed there, but it appears to be taken from their website!
And, for balance, way more expensive than the club's St Agnes Beacon site a few yards up the road, even allowing for the fact that it is a no facility site! And presumably the same booking conditions and arrival/departure arrangements apply even with an ACSI card.

the big advantage ACSI has when used in Europe over the uk, is the periods in which it is valid....
over there....just a few short weeks where it's 'peak'.....everything else is discounted...
over here, anything other than a few obscure dates (the 3rd November, perhaps..) attracts a higher price and sites don't want to give that advantage (cash) away too easily.

I don't think ACSI would really be much use to us. Looking at the location of the UK Sites I think we could find suitable alternatives and looking at the validity dates it's times of the year when home commitments mean we don't often go that far afield anyway. But it would be interesting to hear from anyone who's used them extensively "over here".

Picking up on the references to Wooda Farm. It is a CAMC affiliated site. We stayed there a few years ago using Camping Cheques. It was considerably cheaper than signing in as CC members. The price included EHU, awning and a dog. It has also raised the question with me as to why prices for the whole year are no longer shown in the CAMC site directory. The 2017 directory lists all the dates and prices at Wooda Farm ranging from £20 to £32. Plus extra charges for awnings and dogs. I really miss Camping Cheques.
