Site Complete

Only encountered a handful of Brits in my month meandering around the Black Forest until I stopped off for a few nights at La Bien Assise near Calais. Reception had a CAMC 'affiliated site' sticker and the place was swarming with Brits. Somewhat surprisingly the site doesn't feature in the CAMC 'Touring France' book.

We have been coming to Europe with our caravan for a few years now. Admittedly, we usually come earlier in the year than this but we delayed our plans because we didn't know what the brexit ****shower was going to bring.

We are members of ACSI and always use their sites, whether Municipal or not. We have never booked and never had a problem getting in. We arrived in the famous Val de Vesle site yesterday about 2:30. The lovely lady who runs the place said that she had only one pitch left. Today she had a "Complete" sign up outside the office when we left late morning for our trip into Reims.

I have read on this forum many times that there is no need to book outside of July and August but maybe times are changing.

On a similar note, we met an English couple here yesterday who asked if we had met many British people on our three and a half weeks of travel. I told them that we had only seen three couples which was one more than they had seen over the same period, including us. The Club's sites must be pretty full or people are staying at home.

It's probably that the site in Val de Vesle is near to a major route for people from Holland, Germany, and Scandinavia heading south, and is also an ACSI Card site (which are more popular in those countries than in the UK).  Chances are that a mile or two down the road would have been a non-ACSI site where you might have found the majority of pitches empty.
