You should look into joining Passport America. Nowhere near as many campgrounds as in the Good Sam book BUT they are 50% off. Most of us who have joined make the <$50 investment back on the first camping trip. Many do not join thinking there is a 'catch'. Other than some blackout days and stay limits there is not.
Yes, we did just that, joined Passport America (as well as Good Sam), and found that during the 'high' season (basically winter time) the 50% doesn't allow for the saving. So, it seems to be more of a seasonal thing, but we'll try it for a few years and see if it pays to have it.
Have read there is an 'Escapee's' membership as well for savings....but so far have just joined their forum, and no membership as of yet.
There is also 'Thousand Trails' memberships, of which you'd have to use it on a more 'full-time' basis to make it pay I think.
I'm sure there are many others, some I may not have even heard of yet, but 'discounts' of any kind are most welcomed, especially since we're AAA members as well as 'seniors'...so any and all discounts are favourable. Apparently you can't daisy chain all these hoped for discounts either! :)
