If you're an Escapee member you can also get the Passport membership at a discounted rate.
Westernrvparkowner: I don't think you realize that there are many, many RVers that definitely do think that price is driving the vast majority of RVers.
Also, there are Passport parks near major attractions and they are quality parks.
I fully realize there are many price driven RVers. I seriously doubt it is the vast majority. I know I am always full and several cheaper parks in the area are not. But I feel I offer a better value due to my amenities, my location and the quality of my park. But as I have repeatedly said, if you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. So I do not seek those who do want the lowest price.
I disagree with you that there are many Passport parks near major attractions. I know there are very, very few near Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. I believe the same is true of Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Disneyland and Disney World etc. The very few that do exist have restrictions that make them virtually useless to the average visitor (i.e there is one near Glacier that only accepts it in May which is usually a month before the Going to the Sun road opens. Not many RVers visit Glacier before mid June). I am sure PPA works great for many people, but it is wrong to conclude that it will be great for everyone or that any park that does not subscribe to that business model is somehow missing the boat.
