Thousand Trails parks generally rank somewhere in the middle between wonderful and terrible. If they fit your camping style they offer a good camping solution.
Our membership provides us with 50 "free" nights and then $5-8 a night after that. So far, (Our anniversary date is April) we've averaged paying just over $10 a night for our 109 nights in Thousand Trails (annual fee + nightly fees after our first 50 nights).
On the other hand, if you are going to buy a membership and then use it only 7 nights a year, well those are going to be rather pricy stays!
If you are looking at a zone pass that's about all the math needed. If you are buying a membership you have to factor in the cost of it, and if you are buying a used membership you have to add in the transfer fees. That complicates the math because that cost will be spread out over the number of years that you continue to be a member.
