Skip the club or any membership until you have been on the road for a year.
Absolutely agree with this.
But, depending upon where you plan to camp, Good Sam club members get discounts at Good Sam campgrounds. We've been to several GS campgrounds over the years and they are right in line with KOA. Nice thing about GS, they are a one year membership, and after staying at your first campground, you have about saved enough to pay for the membership, depending on how many nights you stay.
KOA is another annual discount membership. There again, you have to use it to make it pay.
Not knowing having a "plan" yet, you are probably best to wait on any memberships, even GS or KOA until you get your feet wet and formulate a plan.
