What ACSI does
ACSI is Europe's leading campsite specialist, founded in 1965 and headquartered in Andelst, Netherlands. The company serves two primary customer segments: individual campers, caravan and motorhome owners seeking campsite information, discounts, and travel planning tools, and campsite owners and operators seeking marketing visibility, listing, and broker services. Reported scale includes 10,000+ member campsites across Europe, 9,500+ campsites listed on Eurocampings with 460,000+ reviews, 33 million+ annual website visits across the ACSI web network, and 700,000+ printed campsite guides distributed annually. The company is operated by a 200-plus-person headquarters in Andelst plus an India office, with 400+ inspectors who travel through Europe annually to assess and rate campsites.
The technology platform is a proprietary digital ecosystem spanning the BigCommerce-powered, multi-language ACSI Webshop; the Eurocampings and Suncamp booking platforms with extensive filters and 460,000+ reviews; mobile applications (ACSI Campings Europe App and CampingCard ACSI App) for iOS and Android with offline access; the campsite inventory/management layer (ACSI Booking); the Camping Comfort guest-facing app for campsite operators; and the recently launched ACSI Broker Services pan-European M&A platform for campsite transactions. A proprietary campsite inspection and evaluation program with 400+ annual inspectors underpins the underlying content and quality ratings used across guides, websites, and apps.
The business model is multi-stream: recurring subscription revenue from ACSI Club ID membership (€6.95/year, accepted at ~8,000 campsites and bundled with third-party liability insurance), CampingCard ACSI discount cards (digital and physical, up to 60% savings at 3,000+ campsites), and app subscriptions; transaction and listing fees from campsite operators on Eurocampings and Suncamp; affiliate/commission revenue managed exclusively via Tradetracker.com (6% on Webshop, variable on Eurocampings/Suncamp bookings and leads); broker fees from ACSI Broker Services M&A transactions; and retail/wholesale distribution of printed guides. Distribution channels include direct-to-consumer e-commerce across country-specific storefronts, iOS/Android app stores, retail partners for guides, and the affiliate partner network. The company operates multi-country telephone support across the Netherlands, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Denmark, with marketing/contact emails spanning contact, marketing, sustainability, and dataprotection functions.

ACSI competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Airbnb: Airbnb lists unique stays and increasingly adds campsite and glamping offerings globally. As a broad accommodation platform, it overlaps with ACSI's campsite booking and glamping (SunLodge) offerings, particularly in non-traditional and outdoor accommodation categories.
- Roompot / Landal GreenParks: Roompot and Landal GreenParks are large European holiday park operators and booking platforms with significant campground and bungalow inventory. As broader holiday park incumbents expanding into pan-European booking, they share target audiences and operator relationships with ACSI's campsite-owner B2B segment.
- Booking.com (Booking Holdings): Booking.com is a global online travel agency increasingly listing campsites, holiday parks, and campgrounds alongside hotels and vacation rentals. As a broad incumbent in accommodation booking, it competes with ACSI's Eurocampings and Suncamp booking platforms for campsite and mobile-home bookings across Europe.
Direct peers
- Pitchup.com: Pitchup.com is a pan-European campsite and holiday park booking platform for tents, caravans, motorhomes, and glamping. It competes directly with Eurocampings and Suncamp for the same SMB campsite inventory and end-camper audience, with similar booking-fee revenue model and online booking focus.
- Camping.info: Camping.info is one of Europe's leading campsite information and booking portals, similar to ACSI's Eurocampings. Both compete for the same European camper searching for campsite reviews and bookings, and ACSI itself uses 'ACSI camping.info Booking' as a campsite-owner product name (acsi.eu domain reference), confirming the close competitive overlap.
- Vacanceselect: Vacanceselect is a major European camping holiday operator offering camping pitches, mobile homes, and chalets across Europe. Directly comparable to Suncamp and SunLodge in vacation package delivery and to ACSI's broader travel services portfolio.
- Allcamps: Allcamps is a European camping holiday specialist offering campsite and mobile home bookings across Europe. Comparable to Suncamp and SunLodge, targeting families and caravan/motorhome travelers with package and accommodation booking across multiple European countries.
- Campaya: Campaya is a pan-European campsite and holiday park booking platform with comparison and reservation across thousands of campsites. Direct competitor to Eurocampings and Suncamp in online campsite discovery and booking flow with similar geographic coverage in the Netherlands, Germany, and broader Europe.
- Eurocamp (Homair Group): Eurocamp is a European camping holiday package operator providing mobile home and lodge holidays at campsites across Europe. Comparable to Suncamp and SunLodge, with shared focus on family camping holidays and similar European campsite inventory.
Emerging players
- The Dyrt: The Dyrt is a U.S.-based campground discovery and review platform with user-generated content and a growing booking layer. It is comparable to ACSI's Eurocampings in campsite review and search functionality, though primarily focused on the North American market rather than Europe.
