Escapee RV club

Thanks for the heads up on the Oct. discount. I've been wanting to try it out, but I'm not a fulltimer. So the expense was more of a "want" than an "need". And it never fit my budget (I'm cheap). Now I can enjoy it for a year and see if I like it, at a cost I like.

Win-win. Thanks.

I have a three-ring binder with various bits of RV-related information in it. On the last two pages, I have various membership cards in plastic, including Good Sam, Passport America, KOA, Disabled American Veteran, 100% disabled vet card, Golden Access card,etc, etc. When I check in, I show those and ask if any of them apply. Never can tell what might apply. I got a 50% discount at casino based on my Golden Access card.

None of there's. But you should find some RV parks that give an Escapees discount.

The OP, Daniel Oren and his wife Shula spent a few days with us a couple of weeks ago. They live in Israel, and spend four or five months annually traveling wherever the wind takes them. Very interesting couple. We really enjoyed their visit.
Take a look at their blog at

Great club! Where do you plan to travel? They have really nice parks in their system but may not have one where you plan to travel, other wise you can still get discounts at many other parks too. SKP park rates are half of what other similar parks will be. Great if you want your own seasonal or home base lot as well. I have a lot in their Chimacum park (Evergreen Coho) where we spend 3-4 months in the summer, it's a beautiful park with really great people. The magazine really is good too. Care Center is a great program too. Check it out. Only $29.95 until 31 Oct. Love your web site and photo's. You all look like SKP's already! lol

The purpose of Escapees is not about discount campgrounds such as Passport America. It was founded for the purpose of sharing, caring and parking, hence, SKP. It began 35 years ago and started as a way of full-timers to meet up around the country and to get any help they may need. It has evolved greatly over the years, including have a mail forwarding service for thousands of happy customers. Their mail service is fully automated (not putting mail in slots) and even has it's own zip code. You are given a real mailing address unique only to you - not a P.O. Box.

Their magazine which is included in the $29.95 membership (until Oct 31) is very professional, little advertising and articles written by Escapees, themselves. It is so much better than Motor Home/Trailer Life or the past, Highways magazine.

They do have discount parks such as Passport America has, but they also have home parks and co-op parks for very reasonable rates.

They have chapters throughout the country and their next big rally will be in Tucson in March. They also offer Boot Camp for newbies. If any of these things interest you then, yes, definitely join. We've been members since before we first started full-timing - 18 years ago.

In addition to the above the Escapades are well worth attending, you do not have to be a member to attend. Same thing with their excellent forum, no need to be a member to participate.

That said, we have been Escapee members for 10 years.

Plus they have one of the best RVing magazines going . . .

I've been a member since 1992. I LOVE the Escapees!! View their website and find out the details, but suffice it to say that we are a special group of folks that are there for each other, but not intrusive! Lots of parks all over the country to stay at and meet like minded folks.... get togethers, etc. You can, but don't have to join in ... It's all good. You'll see by the website the care and concern of our members for others and for community. :)
