campimg membership for a newbie
We are going to begin the camping RV life shortly, and are dismayed at the cost of parking our RV. We have found a couple clubs to join, but are in need of an experienced person to guide our plans....

One additional thing. Our plans include Monroe,LA. Wasila, AK. Bingamton, NY. We have family in each location, but would like to enjoy stops along the way. This is why we are concerned about camping stops, as there will be many. We are not on an unlimited budget, hence our concerns for costs incurred.
I've put lots of links together below. I hope you'll visit them.
Here is a very good way to check out what public and private campgrounds are available in a given area. Just put in a city or zoom in on the map until the campground symbols show up. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE!
This is a similar resource focusing on public campgrounds.
As noted, get the Senior Pass if you qualify. Pass info
I'd sure look into NPS, NFS, SP, and COE cg's. Some have Full Hook Up (FHU), others are more restricted in their amenities.
COE CG's Put the state name in at the top.
NPS site Click on the map for the state(s) you will be visiting and it will show you the various parks in that state. You'll have to visit each one to see the camping possibilities and reservation options.
Links to all the State Parks that I put together
NFS CG's Really good info on the NFS CG's around this country.
If you're driving to Alaska, make sure you check out the "RVing in Canada and Alaska" forum here.
If you're going through Canada, make sure you check out not only their National Parks but their Provincial Parks also.
