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.

Posted on 26/07/2019 11:03 by moulesyJust 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.

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".
