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 ...

We put in around 10,000 miles on one trip (~10 weeks) last fall and rarely stayed in a campground two nights in a row. During this trip we did not seek out PA campgrounds, but whenever we picked a campground we asked if they were a PA campground and if that night would qualify ... so we saved some $$ at PA campgrounds by pure luck..
We would never seek out PA campgrounds, per se, over just seeking out a campground in an area we were already in for other reasons. If our chosen campground happened to be a PA one, great. In general we don't prefer the locations where PA campgrounds are and don't care for how their restrictions limit whether or not we in fact can save anything by using that campground at that time.
I think we would prefer a PA type plan that was much more expensive per year for membership, but where the member campgrounds could not restrict their one-half-off discount any day or during any season. The campgrounds would have to be compensated some way by the plan to make up for them not being allowed to place restrictions on PA member discounts.
