I have a different take on TT. We live in So. Calif, we stated with a Zone Pass a few years ago at an Encore Park in Lake Tahoe( a very nice park)to say the least. It so happens that Ca has many TT facilities and with that in mind, we upgraded to a full membership. Out of approx 150 days of camping this year so far, we've use our membership at a number of different locations and for about 95% of those 150 days . As stated, many of the parks within the system are no where's close to being resorts but there are enough Gems for us to get our monies worth plus every year. It may be location for us but I'm an advocate for what we have received out of it and the Zone pass was and is a good value if you use it...IMHO
