Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch (Colorado)
I have four free nights at the Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch in Gunnison Colorado. It's a time share thing where you have to attend a half hour to one hour tour sometime during your stay and listen to...

Update:
My wife and I went to Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch last week. The sales pitch for the campground membership (Resorts of Distinction and something else) was about an hour and no pressure when we declined...$9K was a bit much for us considering we camp a combined 10-15 days a year. They did, however, make good on all the freebies such as 4 free nights, full day pontoon boat rental, horseback riding and free dinner.
Campground wise, the sites were "ok". Dirt, not level, full hookups, picnic table and a standing charcoal grill. Some people (that brought their own fire rings) had campfires. Wireless didn't work for us at the campsite (worked at the clubhouse). They have two swimming pools and spas. One is for families, the other is for adults only. They rent ATVs too.
Overall, it's a nice place. It'd be nicer if they leveled out their sites and boosted the WiFi but I didn't complain since I was staying there for free.
They don't lose any money bringing you out there for the sales pitch...they own the marinas, pontoon boats and restaurant. Complete write-off for them at the end of the year.
Again, no pressure on the sales pitch, which was nice. I talked to a few people and it was the third or forth time for them coming out for the sale pitch to get the freebies.
