We prefer to stay in campground with amenities vs. wilderness or boondocking. We love to drive to the parks… but we like the pool and relationships that campgrounds & resorts bring. Our list are resources we have used and liked.
Price is about $44 for
an annual Passport America membership. PA offers 50% discounts to campgrounds
all across the country. We use PA
primarily for overnight or short-term camping.
Some campgrounds will allow you to stay longer at the reduced rate. Most campgrounds do not allow
reservations. I generally call ahead to
make sure they have spots available for Passport campers. (There are often restrictions for seasons
and/or days of the week.)
Coast to Coast
Coast to Coast is a
significant investment (although previously owned memberships are
available). This network of RV
Resorts/Campgrounds allows a member to stay for $0 to $10/night. They have an additional network of parks that
are available for approx. $15/night. For
us this membership has more than paid for itself. Also, Coast to Coast customer service is
great to work with.
