SKP = do it phonetically S K P = Escapee.
Escapees is more of a club than a discount camping program, but they do have associated parks (all nice) that offer member discounts.
PA is strictly a discount club and it enables parks to offer discount to sell sites in slow periods. They will limit or not offer the discount in busy times. Most will not allow it if you reserve ahead of time, just call ahead that day.
PA does no inspection or rating of parks, some are great, some are dumps. We have found more better than bad. We are Escapees and use those parks when convenient, but use PA more. First thing I look for are PA parks on our route. For a quick overnight who cares about amenities? Sometimes it is just an open lot with hook-ups and a slot to drop your payment. $12-15 for a full hook-up works for us.
On the other hand we have also found some great small campgrounds with PA.
As noted above, PA pays for itself in one or two nights.
Although it's pronounce "Skips or SKP" like Escapee, it actually means. Service, knowledge and parking.
