Camping Cards

AAA Members

The Canadian Automobile Association is authorized by AIT to issue its Camping Card to AAA members, and to members of Clubs affiliated with AIT, Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), or the Fédération Internationale de Camping et de Caravanning (FICC).

What is a Camping Card International?

The International Camping Card (CCI) is an identity card which provides access to organized campgrounds, controlled by clubs that belong to the AIT, FIA, and the FICC. It is valid for a total of 12 months from date of issue.

Where is the CCI Valid?

The CCI may be used in many European and Scandinavian countries, at campgrounds owned or operated by automobile or touring associations affiliated with AIT, FIA, and FICC.

Where do I find such campsites?

The CCI Information Guide accompanies each Card issued. The full colour booklet is packed with a wealth of information. It includes campsite listings where the CCI can be used, camping tips and general information.

Advantages of using the CCI

The CCI guarantees the payment of campground fees. Some camp proprietors may accept it in lieu of a deposit of fees, to be retained until the camper leaves, and the camping fees paid.

Its other advantages include discounts on campsite fees, reservation priority, and the possibility of being granted permission to camp in state forests.

*Insurance coverage

Each CCI issued by CAA includes third party insurance coverage.

The "insured party" is defined as any member of the Club or Association affiliated to the AIT who is holding a valid Camping Card International. Coverage also includes any member of the insured's family, normally forming part of the household, or any person traveling in the same private vehicle.

A summary of the insurance coverage, the conditions of issue and the camper’s code is provided with each card issued, along with the CCI Information Guide.

*The CCI and insurance coverage is not valid for use in either Canada or the United States.

How to obtain one

You can obtain an application by contacting the CAA National office to have an application mailed to you, or by printing the application (see below).

To qualify for a CCI you must submit a signed application form and:

Fee accompanying mailed in applications must be in the form of a money order payable to the Canadian Automobile Association. If you wish to pay by Visa or MasterCard, please include your card number and the expiry date. One to three weeks should be allowed for the CCI to reach you.

A CCI cannot be post dated, extended or renewed. It is valid for one year from date of issue, and can be discarded when it expires. Each time a new CCI is required, the applicant must complete a new application form, produce a valid AAA membership, a copy of the photo page of their Passport and the fee.

The CCI and Information Guide are an outstanding value for those planning a camping trip in Europe and Scandinavia.
