Passport America parks not so good so far
We joined PA last month, and have overnighted at 4 PA parks in the past 2 weeks. One was just fine, in FL. It was on the budget side, but very well kept, with good clientele. Two in GA were just atro...

We joined Passport America several years ago. We tried to save money by using them.
Many had dropped from Passport America. Several would not honor it even thought they were still member parks. We heard more than once that it was only for slack times or some such.
Some would not honor it on weekends or holidays. Some did honor it and they were generally not the highest quality. Of course we didn't visit all of them, only a small portion of book.
That's why you need to check the site or PA book to know ahead of time before you check in trying to use your PA membership - each campground sets their own restrictions and the restrictions are listed. Pretty much the only requirement for a campground to join PA is to have a period of time, regardless of how restricted it is, that they do offer the 50% off. Doesn't seem to matter if it's only 2 sites in your entire campground where you check in Wednesdays from 12pm to 1 pm, if you offer it, you can get it. People who look at it and know about it will use it.
If the campground does not honor the discount outside of the restriction listed without explanation, contact PA about it and they will deal with it. Not sure if they will refund you the difference and then go after the campground for it, but they won't just sit there on their hands and say "oh well...". I have heard about them dealing with things like that.
