Can any forum members provide information on the Coast to Coast membership program. Specifically hidden costs and the availability of campsite bookings. Any opinions will be welcome. Thanks

C2C has a shrinking membership and a shrinking number of member parksโ€ฆ because of exactly what Old-Biscuit and so many others have doneโ€ฆ

So unless things have changed, It is supposed to be a reciprocal agreement between the member parksโ€ฆ but many of the home parks being sold on the used market, are selling memberships to people that never intend to use them as a home park, just a vehicle to get them into the use of the reciprocal systemโ€ฆ all this does is load the system up making it much harder to get reservations, especially in the more popular areasโ€ฆ

Most of these sleazy home parks sell so many of what are supposedly used memberships they could never accommodate their own members reasonably let alone the traveling publicโ€ฆ they are gaming the system (and crushing the C2C system under its own weight)โ€ฆ

So many of the good parks have dropped out of the system because of the gamers that now C2C has to rely more heavily on its good neighbor system than it does member parks to ensure space for its traveling C2C membersโ€ฆ however these GN parks set their own restrictions, like blocking out entire seasons in the most popular placesโ€ฆ

I donโ€™t know how many member parks there are left, but I would guess about 1/3 of what there once was (somewhere around 1400+ then)โ€ฆ

I saved a lot of money using C2C when there were a lot of member parks and you could get into themโ€ฆ

So used is the cheap way to buy, as long as you are aware that each one brings C2C closer to its endโ€ฆ

I looked at it a couple of times and it did not suit our travel plans or routes to where we were going, so decided it was not worth it.

Here is a good Q&A for C2C info..........LINK

C2C is an affiliate membership program. You can not just buy a C2C membership

First you have to buy into a 'home' park and depending on that 'home' parks affiliation determines which C2C program you can buy (Classic/Deluxe/Premier)

You have the buy in cost for home park, the annual dues for home park and the annual dues for the level of C2C

Then you can stay at the various affiliate CGs around the US & Canada based upon $10/nite standard hookup.
The affiliate CGs can up-charge for 50A service, premium site, sometimes for sewer.

We have used C2C for 7 yrs. of FT travel
We bought our 'home' park and Deluxe C2C (allows for stays up to 14 days-----Classic is 7 days) via RESALE (the ONLY way to buy a membership).
Our home park annual dues are $59/yr (frozen) and the Deluxe C2C annual dues are $149/yr

Hidden fees...not by C2C
Some CGs have up-charges but they are listed in directory so not really hidden

BUY RESALE.........cheap
BUT only IF you are really going to use it. Otherwise..waste of monies
Is it time for your medication or mine?
