Ocean Canyon Properties was only mentioned at the beginning of the sales presentation. The sales staff stressed this was membership in Coast to Coast. They also stressed that when we joined C2C we would also get a 10% discount at the many Good Sam parks. When I told them I was already a member of Good Sams they took a $1000.00 off the price. BTW, the starting price was $21,000.00 before they started adding on discounts.
Near the end presentation when I mentioned that camping only costs me $8.00 to $12.00 a night at COE parks with my America the Beautiful card they told me that due to government budget problems all the COE parks and state parks would be sold to private interests over the next few years. Wow!
I found the tour of the park and the sales presentation very entertaining.
Then their sales staff needs better training....Old Biscuit was correct. The $13k and $495 annual dues was to purchase a membership at the park. You MUST have a membership in an affiliated park to join CtoC....which has separate dues of $89...
Most do not understand that there are two parts to "campground membership"...you have the property owners (the park) and the affiliate (CtoC, AOR, ROD, etc.) that connects the parks in their "system"...you pay upfront cost in both and annual dues to both...
