Pass Port America Pros and Cons (IMHO)
Price wise you can't go wrong. Even if you don't use it, it only cost you .12 cents a day. If you use it twice, you have your $44.00 back. It has its draw backs. Some campgrounds in the north are off ...

I generally agree but I'd add that PPA CG are usually not where most people want to be. That is they are not near National Parks or other attractions.We didn't use it once last summer IIRC. Good Sams is much more useful since they are accepted at most CG where we end up. PPA is starting their usual barrage of renewal notices but I haven't decided whether to renew again or not. We've had PPA for at least 10 years more or less.
I'll add this our usage pattern goes like this, when transiting we look for a CG near where we want to call it quits for the night. Often near a Interstate. When we get to a target area we stay one or two weeks at a CG exploring the area. PPA CG don't usually give a discount for extended periods so they are useless even if there is one near. We do not hang around CG during the day unless it is a laundry day so most amenities don't mean much to us.
