Annual resort park pass. Is it worth it?
Hi
We are new to Rv'ing. Started with tent camping and now we're searching for a truck + truck camper combo. We have a very active 2 year old who loves to explore new places so we're very excited to bring him along on our new adventure. Our jobs are flexible and we can work while travelling as long as there are Wifi available. We plan to travel quite extensively, maybe a few weeks at a time. Especially in the winter we may just stay in the southern states or wherever it's sunny/warm.
While boondocking may be something we'd love to try out once in awhile, we're thinking we may stay in RV resort parks for the most part. With a 2 year old it's nice to have hookups and the free Wifi offered at most places is nice for when we're working.
We came across this RV resort park pass called 'zone camping pass' with Thousand Trails. Basically you pay an annual fee of $545 (for one zone) and pretty much stay for free all year round (with some restrictions like after 14 consecutive days you need a 7 day rest period before you stay there again. also after the first 30 stays it's $3/day.).
It seems like a pretty good deal to me especially in the winter if we decide to stay down in the southwest area, $545 isn't too bad at all considering most rv resorts are now charging $30-50/day. The thing is there are only 18 resorts in the southwest zone, which is kind of restrictive, and also we have not been to any of them.
Has anyone been to any of the Thousand Trails campground and/or owned a park pass like this and can provide some input?
Thanks!
