Passport America Camping Directory

The reason why I do not like PassPort America is because it is hard to get reservations with them. On holidays you can just forget about ever getting into one of those parks.

That alone should tell you that many of their members are popular places. Being busy indicates a pretty high level of satisfaction in the business world.
If it were not for the restrictions, there would not be any discounts. A park owner would be stupid to give half off during the Magnolia Festival (for example) when he was going to be full anyway and conversely would be just as stupid to get nothing from a site if it was going to be empty anyway. The parks come up with what makes sense for them and publish it. We just have to work around them a couple of uses per year pays for it and the rest of the savings are gravy for us.

I prefectly understand it. It is ideal for someone who travels long distances involving several overnights before they get to their destination, expecially when they travel during the week. I understand that we will have to pay full price on the weekend, or holiday, cause that is when campgrounds make their big money. With Passport America, it gives us a break from a regular diet of Walmart parking lots.
