- Jim_ShoeExplorerThe NP Senior pass is the best deal ever. $10 for a lifetime pass and good in all NP sites. The only time I had to pay extra was at Historic Jamestowne, because the park is free but the parking is owned by the Virginia Preservation Society. But it was only $5 to park and worth it.

Don't forget the National Park Senior Pass if you're over 62 if you plan to go to National Parks, National Forests, etc.
no we are not there yet still working and still have to for another 10 years.:M
we only use the RV 20 to 30 nights per year max.:S
this is why I said 15 nights at campground as the other one will be in the wilderness. - 2oldmanExplorer II

At 10 days that will save you approximately $25. Yahoo.
I don't think we will stay in campground more than 10 to 15 days per year. - bobjogoneExplorerDon't forget the National Park Senior Pass if you're over 62 if you plan to go to National Parks, National Forests, etc.
- BB_TXNomadGood Sam and AAA are widely accepted for discounts.
And many will give a senior discount, even without AARP card.
And if you stay at KOAs (we often do) then that is a good card to have.
We have Good Sam, KOA, and AARP cards.
We pretty much just try to get what ever discount is available at where ever we stop for the night, rather than seek out specific parks that accept certain memberships. If we spent months on the road I may be a little more particular. - K_CharlesExplorerMany times I say "this is a Good Sam park would you like to see my card" and they say "that's OK we give everybody the 10% discount"
- The_Painting_TeExplorerPassport America gives a 50% discount and the cost of membership can be returned with just two nights stay. The campgrounds we've stayed at were not destination type cg's, but were clean and good enough for a stopover. You need to be careful on the restrictions (time of year, days of the week, # of nts allowed) but I think the membership is worth it. Camp on!
