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.

Wn It seems I am happier with my stays  in the places we come across on our travels  in around  10 to 12 countries each year.  Not perfect but in almost  every case preferable to what we can find in the UK.  If we couldn't travel over here the van would go tommorrow and we would spend the considerable saving on multiple visits to the carribean instead.

I agree we have numerous families in our area from other countries who now feel part english, and not one seems to want to go "home" and I think all are quite integrated

As somebody who uses a mixture of sites it is rare that I experience problems on any site
