Passport America and its ilk

I am always skeptical of the savings people claim. Yes, they may be offering 50 percent of their posted rate, but is the posted rate fair compared to the neighboring parks? Half off of $50.00 when another park offers 10 percent off a $35.00 rate means you really are only saving $6.50. If the Passport park is either a lesser park or is further off the beaten path (which seems to be a common issue with Passport America), you are either giving up amenities of trading site fees for fuel expense.

I have seen your opinion of PA before.. just because it is an option that does not appeal to you is no reason to run down parks that do offer it. I have stayed in quite a few very nice parks that have made a business decision to offer Pa to help fill vacant sites during shoulder seasons. If you don't have a need for it, good for you but I don't think bad mouthing your competition is a good business decision either.
