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.
We have been to a lot of Non Membership campgrounds over the past 20 years the places we liked to go are now charging $80- 100 / night heck just to name 1 in your state Big Timber Lake for a full hook up site it's $92 /night in july. use to be around 65-70 a few years ago so that chews up 5k pretty quick. there are some others out there for 35-50 /night but we like to have pools and entertainment at places we go. like you said to each their own and like I tell everyone IT'S ONLY WORTH IT IF YOU USE IT! we use it almost exclusively have it for 4 years and camped approx. 30-40 nights a year it paid for itself already but we didn't pay 5k it was less. also the limit on nights is 14-21 depending on park and time of year.
after that long i'm ready to move on
