CampingCard ACSI 2011
 ACSI introduced the CampingCard ACSI scheme to attract more visitors for its advertising camp sites during the low season. This scheme is yet another promotional option in addition to the existing camping guides, DVDs and website (www.eurocampings.eu).
A condition for participation in the CampingCard ACSI scheme is that you advertise in the ACSI 'Campinggids Europa' 2011 or in the ACSI Campingführer Europa 2011 (for advertisement and CampingCard ACSI rates, see Advertising). See General Conditions.
What is CampingCard ACSI?
The size of a credit card, CampingCard ACSI is a discount card for the low season. Additional information: www.campingcard.com
Facilities
Low-season campers look for camp sites that also have something to offer in the low season. They assume that all facilities that are available in the high season are also available in the low season. The general infrastructure, such as roads and paths, well-tended camp site pitches and proper lighting must be in perfect working order.
 Low season
Upon presentation of their card, CampingCard ACSI holders pay only EUR 11.00, EUR 13.00 or EUR 15.00 per night. These amounts are based on the lowest low-season rate in May, June and September 2010. Of course a camp site is free to choose a lower CCA rate than that which has been allocated to the camp site.
It is also important to define the period during which the CampingCard ACSI is to be accepted. The period will comprise at least 9 weeks (63 days) in the months of May, June and September and maximum 2 weeks (15 days) in July and August. It goes without saying that longer acceptance periods are permitted.
The ACSI inspector will calculate as to which CampingCard ACSI rate will be charged. A contract agreed with the ACSI inspector may be modified after checking by the ACSI office, prior to it becoming definite. The camp site will be kept informed in such cases.
Any additional discounts (seven nights for the price of six, for example) will also be discussed and laid down in a contract.
Important: Campers pay the campsite the entire amount agreed upon with CampingCard ACSI. ACSI does not withhold any amounts.
The CampingCard ACSI rate includes:
- standard or luxurious pitch (with water points and drains);
- two adults;
- car + caravan + tent or car + folding trailer or car + tent or camper with awning;
- electricity up to 6A or 4 KWh per day;
- showers with hot and cold water; if the camp site has coin-operated showers, the CampingCard ACSI rate agreed on includes one token per person per day;
- no additional charge for one single pet, if it is allowed on the camp site;
- if applicable 1 to 3 children up to and including 5 years old;
- V.A.T.
Additional services, such as for additional people or tennis court hire, are subject to the standard low-season rates.
