I generally agree but I'd add that PPA CG are usually not where most people want to be. That is they are not near National Parks or other attractions.
We've used it during our 16 years of full-timing. I disagree that they don't have parks where people want to be and not by national parks. There are many parks in the big cities and not off the beaten path.
I just took a glance at some areas. Grand Canyon Railway RV in Williams is mentioned often on these forums as 'the' place to stay for visiting Grand Canyon. It's rate starts at $43..Passport is $21.
Others:
Moab has 4 parks - Arches National Park
Estes Park - Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park
Colorado Springs
Tucson
Phoenix
Oregon coast - many parks
San Diego
Lake Tahoe
California has 100 parks
Cody, WY for Yellowstone
It just depends where you travel. As stated, using it only 2x will pay for it. It's quite a deal!
