Value of Coast to Coast
I've seen a couple of comments from others indicating the believe there is no value in Coast to Coast. I just felt the need to throw my opinion into the mix.
We have FTed for 7 years, and have received what I consider a good value for my money through C2C as one of our memberships. As a general rule, the C2C affiliated parks we have stayed at have been welcoming and very pleasant. We have stayed in some very desirable locations where we were amazed we could stay for $10 nightly. The Black Hills, Gettysburg, Colorado etc. all quickly come to mind. I suspect that part of the value is dependent for many on how much their yearly dues are for their home park. Ours happen to be very reasonable.
Many of the affiliates do charge $2 or $3 additional dollars for 50amp, or "resort fees", but I've always found it up front--in the C2C website description or the C2C yearly book.
We have also found a couple of affiliated parks over the years that left a lot to be desired. One with severe power problems that went unaddressed, another with a sewer problem. C2C doesn't own these parks, so its nice to have a new avenue with this forum to at least bring it to their attention. I have no reason to believe that C2C wants parks it affiliates with to present unsafe conditions to the member. Their is no payoff for C2C, but they can't respond to what they don't know.
We have also experienced a park or two that held a half dozen or so beat up or "shoe horned" sites for C2C members. And then if those few sites were taken, no C2C allowed. Its not a safety issue, and may or may not be allowed by C2C's affiliate agreement, I don't know. But we just choose to not go their again when the general feeling you are given is that your a 2nd or 3rd class RVer if your using C2C.
We get asked often by folks we meet, once they know we FT, our opinion of campground clubs. I tell them in my opinion, if we only had two (which we are getting close to), they would be C2C and Passport. There has not been a year go by that we don't make up our membership costs many times over.
And just to be clear, I have absolutely no connections with C2C or Affinity. I just know that the forums tend to get posts the most by people who have an issue going on. So I think its important to throw out a positive if that's ones experience.
So thanks for this new C2C forum! Hopefully, when the moderators get a chance, they will be able to move some of the threads on here to more appropriate topics to keep it clean. Its new, and it appears that there will be a learning curve as what the topic "Coast to Coast" is actually all about.
