Thousand island or Encore

We took the offer of two for one zones and bought the Northwest Zone and got the the Southwest Zone free. We were traveling this year including Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California with some Arizona thrown in. Since we spent June, July, August, and September traveling in this area we more than made up for the $500 expense to the tune of about 3 or 4 to 1. Economically this was a great deal. The negatives were there as well however. Some of the parks are extremely isolated, as in no cell service, no internet service and a long drive to civilization. Perfect for those who use the park as a destination but not so much for those of us using it as a place to stay while sight seeing the area. Another negative is that we often had to settle for less than full hookups ... either 50 amp with no sewer, or 30 amp with sewer, no 50 amp available, no sewer sites available etc. Some of the parks were very nice and well kept while others tended toward the run down and neglected. The Rangers were all very nice and tried to be as helpful and accommodating as possible. For us, since we had many parks available in the area we were going to be traveling, it was well worth the money and we have no regrets and would do it again. Some areas of the country have very few parks though so check the map carefully and make sure you will get your money's worth.
