Camping Card Scandinavia

ATTENTION!
The Camping Card Scandinavia (CCS), which was primarily valid for Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, was replaced by the Camping Key Europe in 2012.

This new card is an union of the Camping Card International and the Camping Card Scandinavia. So there is only one card since 2012 for the price of around 16 Euro, which is valid on campsites all over Europe.

According to the Swedish Camping Association, the existing cards will be replaced in course of time by the new camping card.

More information on Camping Key Europe can be found here.

Previously the Camping Card Scandinavia brought several advantages. It:

simplified and accelerated the checking in and out on campsites
contained a accident insurance for the whole family while staying at the campsite
allowed the payment on departure
offered a discount on many ferries (Scandlines, Silja Line, StenaLine, Finnlines, Tallink, TT-Line, Viking Line) and attractions

The card was only required on a part of the Norwegian campsites, according to experience about every fourth place.

You could buy a temporary CSS at the first campsite, which demanded the card. The proper plastic card was received later.
