Is it worth it?

I would try a seasonal site, takes all the stress of towing, setting up out of the equation.

It's about what works for you, everybody is different with different needs. All we can do is offer suggestions that work for us.

We've considered this ourselves but any seasonal parks we've investigated that are within reasonable driving distance have been - well, let's just say "less than desirable", partly because of how crowded private parks generally are and in some cases because of the clientele. ;) Yeah I know, a generalization, BUT there's also always been a definite "clique" feel, where everyone seems to know everyone else and everyone else's business, unlike provincial or state parks where we know no one and prefer it that way. We do know of one park in the Adirondacks we really like but 600 km one way just to get there just isn't practical so for now we still transient camp just as we always have as that apparently mythical seasonal park where we'd be comfortable still manages to elude us. :(

My seasonal site is 900 miles from my house, any further North and I would be in Western Ontario. I have had a seasonal spot for 12 years. I have gotten to know a lot of the other seasonals and they have become like family. What you are forgetting is that not everyone goes to their seasonal site at the same time. Just got back from a 6 week stay. Where I'm located there are only two neighbors close to me. I seen one neighbor only once when they arrived the day before I left. The other neighbors were there only for two weeks. I had more privacy then a transient Campground.

I do keep another 5th wheel in storage at home to take trips with when I don't go to the seasonal site.

Like I said earlier what works for me might not necessarily work for other's.
