IMO, you have to look at the benefits of membership, and whether you will be able to use the membership enough to make it pay for YOU.
For me, there is no "club" that has benefits that I can use very often. I was a Good Sam Club member for a while, but I soon realized that I wasn't buying much in the parts/accessory department so the discount didn't work for me (and besides, I got the same discount for being old and a veteran); When I did stop at an RV park for the night, there didn't seem to be a Goodsampark anywhere around, so the only real benefit I had was the magazine, which I didn't enjoy all that much. I allowed the membership to lapse.
I had a KOA membership. It was great for our trip to Tennessee, but since then I haven't had any occasion to use it since then, it also has lapsed.
If you can use the benefits, such clubs can be great. If you can't or don't use them, they are a waste of money.
Good luck.
