RV private camp memberships ?

Just got introduced to the world of RV Memberships(AOR,WH,ROD,C2C) and what a complex and interesting subject it is.I'm very suprised not to see more references to it on this forum.
You have the Elitists and Entitled pitted against young families (with KIDS ), partiers,and newbies.
Anyhow I'm finding it difficult to filter through all these different memberships because the park we really like and is close by is private which I was unaware of until a Membership rep showed up.
(they allow public camping because membership is down, I guess)
So what memberships do you like or belong to, and which ones should I steer clear of ?

  • So glad to hear that !

    In my opinion, stay clear of all of them! Once they get you on the hook, you'll find it a very expensive endeavor. Unless you RV full time, you're probably much better being a "free spirit" and just enjoy your "visitor" status. For the price you spend on membership, you can do a LOT of camping elsewhere! That's my opinion.
  • Well lets just say we got some looks and heard comments about letting the "Public' in to their campground,and had a feeling of discrimination because we didn't have a 2014 46ft class A pusher, also read many of the membership forum websites.

    ???:h Not sure what you mean about the above statement especially the Elitists and Entitled part.

    We only have Good Sam. If we travel alot, we will invest in Passport America. We have good friends who belong to Thousand Trails and use it or the Elks exclusively.

    It all depends upon how much you travel
