Welcome to UKCS.
Discounts? Not that I know of.
The biggest campsite directory, with reviews to help you choose? Oh yes, in my experience - certainly for UK. I can’t speak for Europe & beyond.
Unlimited expert friendly advice from fellow campers on an endless range of camping-related topics? And even some non-camping topics (in the Life in General forum). Absolutely.
Chances to win camping gear? Indeed, especially during the Advent Calendar.
And you don’t even pay for any of this.
If you’re only wanting discounts, UKCS is maybe not for you. But have a browse first…

I don't think that'w what they're asking. They're asking if there's a UK-wide discount scheme. Which there isn't.
Any Club discounts you can recommend seanfdh? (Though the OP could have looked them up on the Club websites before posting.) We’re in both Clubs but we haven’t found any of the discounts particularly relevant to us.
Some sites listed on here used to have special offers for members.
Edited to say, if you look in the 'special listings' in campsite search, click on the area you fancy, there's a list of sites with special offers comes up.
The ACSI Camping Card is not available for UK use.
A number of years ago (2011 /2012) whilst in Somerset we came back to site after visiting Bath and West Show at Shepton Mallet, to find 4 or 5 lads sat outside their tent.
They turned out to be on a mission to find where the ACSI card could be used. ( they gave us an ACSI pen, we still have it) They were going to go to the show also. They would not be alone and were expecting someone 'higher up' in ACSI to turn up. We made them coffee / tea and they thanked us for helping them out. It was a pity we did not speak French. We only know it was their mission to find out if ACSI was known about here and whether the 'show' organizer knew anything of it. I have never googled anything about it, and know only that it did exist for discounts, if you were a member.
Well there you go then bofs. The lads and their official person must have achieved something. Just goes to show Knowledge is everything. Thanks for confirmation that at least those you mention are in the ACSI book. Maybe those sites will draw in France (or other countries) may give those here a try. Cheers for that, we belong to no club, have no intention of ever rejoining either of the big clubs. Been there and we like to choose from UK Campsite or our very old, long expired, Club Site books. Enjoy your caravan this year.
I think there have been UK sites in the ACSI book as long as we have been using it with the 'van. (Before that, in the tent, it was cheaper anyway). So that's since 2011. The ACSI scouts would presumably have been Dutch, as the company is in the Netherlands.
However, we rarely camp in the UK, much prefer the weather in France.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
