TOPIC:

Has anyone got one of these ?

It was mentioned to me over the weekend while staying in Blarney Caravan & Camping Park.

Here are the details as seen on the Camping Ireland web site ......



Camping Key Europe (CKE) is a new benefits/identity card and is recognised in camping sites and holiday parks across Europe. The CKE is family specific and grants its holders numerous benefits and discounts on accommodation and related services across Europe.

The Camping Key Europe card is jointly owned by the Scandinavian camping organisations and two of Europe's biggest motoring organisations, ANWB in Holland and ADAC in Germany. The CKE can be used in 20 European countries and over 2,500 campsites. This network started with a distribution of almost 1 million cards in 2012.

The Irish Caravan and Camping Council have joined the CKE as a partner and will issue the card in Ireland from 2013. It will be available to buy online for €16.00 at www.camping-ireland.ie from April 2013.

Period of validity of Camping Key Europe card. The card is valid for one calender year and will have a year label attached.

If you have a card from a previous year, you will need to buy a year label for €16.00 online or from a participating campsite.

Your card will then be valid for the rest of the calender year. The first time it will be possible to renew a card will be 2014.


Terms and Conditions

The card is valid for a family, single people, married or cohabiting couples, single parent with children under 18 and for groups of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 11 people (school classes, scouts, etc) travelling together. The group leader must be over 18.

The Camping Key Europe includes supplementary liability insurance which covers damage or injury to third parties which is not covered by the cardholders personal liability insurance or where no insurance is held.

I looked into this earlier this year hoping to find significant savings. Most campsites offer €1 discount in high season . I was hoping for more than a 3% discount...

Not enough of a saving to be of benefit to us personally.

I think Sextons in Cork was the only site that offered a 10% discount all season. There might be more added since.

Might suit others who are more active on the camping scene...

In the course of planning next years holiday, Cork and Killarney, I found this on the blarney website also but at the moment I am unable to access Camping-Ireland website.

Has anyone else got one and what sort of discounts can you get.

I spoke to the owner of Blarney Caravan Park he has something to do with Camping Ireland (I think)

He said more and more sites were joining the Key Card Promotion Camping Ireland web site has been down a few days now ?
