Another good option is Camp Club USA. Like Passport America you join for a resaonable fee and then get to camp half price. Passport will take any park so some of the park or so-so, but Camp Club parks have to have a good rating in the Woodall Camping directory to be allow on the list of parks.

For those who plan on visiting Texas or Live in Texas, the state has a $60.00 year pass to all the state parks. Days fees run 5-12 dollars depending, so less then 10 visits to the various parks will pay for itself. Camping runs 13-20 depending on what get maybe even less. You can order the pass online or get a temp one that will get you through your trip.
For those who are in Military Active or Retired can use the various FAMCAMPs. I've stayed at several and they run 13-20 a night again depending what you get. Of course check out the NATIONAL ACCESS Pass's, Depending on your needs they have different Passes. My daughter has a Access Pass because she is has Down's Sydrome. So all Federal Parks access is free, haven't camped yet. Just passing on info. Lee

Try campclubusa kind of like passport america but only excepts campgrounds
that are rated a 3W or higher in Woodall's. Passport has some campgrounds that we went into and turned around and left. |

I have been looking at joining both the Good Sam's Club and KOA. You can check out campground ratings throughout the U. S. and Canada by going to www.woodalls.com. Woodall's rates campsites nationwide which will let you know where campgrounds are in certain states and provinces and how good they are by a 5-W rating system.
Hope that this helps,

We have Resorts of Distinction - Free to stay at any ROD park and we also have Coast to Coast - $10/night on any of their parks and military bases are less than $20/night. We prefer these places, for I can make a reservation 1-2 days out on a busy weekend and go cross country without planning my trip. I dislike parks that require 6 months to reserve on a busy weekend.

well, ive been camping at good sam's for years and i think they are worth the membership.
all the places ive parked have bveen very nice,clean,well kept. i get a guide every year for maybe 12$ and its great. I think KOA's are prices even with the discount. but thats just my opinion. Phil |

We stayed at Whaler's Inn in South Beach, OR for a week. I paid $12 for cable for the entire stay. There were 4 of us, we had full hook-ups, an indoor heated poool, a hot tub, 2 laundry facilities, a dog run, crab/fish clean stattions, mini-golf, frisbee golf, a path to the ocean, and an awesome super friendly staff. If you're going to camp a bunch, then memberships are awesome! 5 more days in any of the ROD parks before Mar '11 would pay for the dues. And beyond that is just a good thing.

We are passport America members too & always use ours in Pigeon Forge for half the cost of other campsites, like 18.00 full hookup a night.
