campgrounds dropping out

Condo campgrounds eh? Most likely financial problems....or the CEO wants his platinum parachute ASAP

Coast to Coast was notified in the second half of 2016 by ELS/Encore that they were removing their resorts and Good Neighbor Parks from our network at the end of 2016. Since that time we have been hard at work adding new resorts and Good Neighbor Parks (GNPs) to our network, and in large part have replaced the losses with 5 new resorts and 62 new GNPs. We are continuing our work to expand the network further this year, and states like Pennsylvania and Maine are on our target list because of the changes in affiliates that you mention. The loss of so many affiliates at one time was difficult to replace all at once, but rest assured that we will continue to grow our affiliate count this year and in the future.

I dropped C2C years ago. Most campgrounds are off the beatin path and too many restrictions on weekends. I found Passport America to be better.

USED C2C for 7 yrs that we FTd
Found them to be worth the yearly dues.
Yes some were 'not destination' parks but we traveled the backroads and really didn't want to go to 'touristo' places

Found Passport America workable BUT LOTS of restrictions

Both were useful and cost savers.


Changes in affiliates is common.....ebb and flows

Passport America worked well for us. We move almost everyday. We like to leave about the time the shift starts in the morning at the Police station.

good to know we upgraded to premier and have used C2C almost always most of the good neighbor parks really don't have the savings that we signed up for so don't really use them hopefully you find a bunch of parks to join thanks for your response

Funny I found the opposite to be true.
C2C may have holiday block outs but your typical weekend is fine.
Passport is geared more towards weekday camping

Sad to hear that more resorts have left C2C but the problem is even worse here in Canada.Southern Ontario had 3, now 0! We upgraded our membership and now the closest C2C is in New York State and Michigan.

Plenty of non-membership campground out there.....enjoy them ! I personally think these "membership" campgrounds (condo-campgrounds, etc.) have been and are a rip-off. The last time (years ago) I was approached by one of these places, it was $5000 "entry fee" but camping (limited number of nites in any place) for a buck a nite. Or something like that.

For 5 grand I can do alot of camping without these guys.

But...to each their own.
