I have never heard of it. Cannot imagine campgrounds that do not want to be listed or known. Most would want to be listed as they join to gain additional business. We use Passport America a lot when we are traveling. There membership fee is $44 and campgrounds are 50% off. Most are great for an overnight at least. Some do have periods of time the discount is excluded, such as during snowbird season. Each park stipulates what days, how many days, year round or only certain season, but there are 1800+ parks in the directory. You can view the listings on line without being a member if you want to check it out.
Yeah, never heard of them either. Sounds like the typical time share campground setup.
If you can really use it, the timeshare programs can be good but 99% of people will wind up cheaper just paying for campgrounds as they need them.
PPA is good if it fits your travel needs and with the cost, it only takes a few nights per year to pay off. You can go on their site and see every park and even the limitations at each park, so you can make an informed decision about purchasing.
What makes no sense is Harvest Host...they show a map but won't let you zoom in or give you any details about the campsites. They give a BS FAQ about businesses not wanting people to find out about them....what business doesn't want potential customers to know about them?
