Hi all, hope you're enjoying the Summercool.

ASCI, is it easy?......obviously I have no idea really what it is. Having returned to France in May with the Club on a 3-week pre-booked package. Yesterday my partner was awarded a 6 weeks extra holiday. So thinking book a return ferry to France, check weather forecast. Allow the weather to be our guide to the direction we travel, for 3 weeks and allow a week to get home.

Do you just turn up at the site and get shoved in a corner or do you phone ahead, or reserve on the app? We have a caravan, so don't fancy Aires. Slept in enough of them, as a truck driver. I realize, because we meet you lucky ones who spend months bimbling around Europe. It's easy Plessy or is it? I'm hoping you'll tell me it opens up options/freedoms, that pre-booking doesn't give you.

And for campsites in France this is the bible - listing almost every one- five times the number that ACSI has.

If you can manage with 8353 sites, that’s 111 less than le guide official, take a look here;

My ACSI guides arrived yesterday and two sites we were considering are no longer in there however-had seen this on the website-however, not being tied to just ACSI, as is often said, a quick check shows that for a small amount, €2 a night,  extra we can stay at our site of choice and this includes a reserved pitch.

This year we stayed at an ACSI site but, booked direct for the same price but this got you a “deluxe” larger, lakeside pitch.

It does pay to keep an open mind, and check, check and check again.

We have also found just using Google maps a good resource. Last year we were looking for a site with shade and a pool in Bedoin for the hottest days of a heatwave. The ACSI discount site was out of town, no pool and the reviews a bit dubious. The camping car park Aire whilst next to the municipal baths, had no shade. However, Google maps showed a site close to the middle with shady pine trees plus a very nice pool. It also provided a link to the site web page with all the details.
