Camping Clubs

I am posting this here because I don't know where else to post it.

Anyone here ever join a "camping club"? Back when I was a kid and we seasonal camp, I remember clubs coming in. It was a group of campers that tend to meet up at different campgrounds for weekends/weeks throughout the summer.

None of our friends camp so my wife has expressed interest in joining a club so we can meet other campers and perhaps have a fun network of people the camp with.

What clubs are out there? What is the good, bad and ugly about them?
  • Look on the Rallies, Shows and Gatherings forum. Lots of groups there from all over that camp together in a "rally". Check it out.
  • I'm a member of RV community forums,there pretty active with there group camping. I started out with the quartzsite rally we have made reservation for big Bend in April . The Catalina Christmas rally in AZ is booked. Im thinking most forum members are Good Sam members.
  • I belong to a local FMCA group and we have a great time on trips with them. There are also Good Sam chapters all over the US. Pick one or both!
  • FMCA has dozens of them. If not a member join and you will get a list of them. Join one in your area or based on your manufacturer or interests. Good luck.
