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.

Campground memberships........
Buy RESALE ONLY
Use it frequently to get your monies worth
Weekenders/vacationers........not a good investment
Full Timers.......can be beneficial provided you do the first 2 things!
C2C, AOR, ROD, RPI etc. are affiliate camping programs hat require a 'home park'. You have to buy into home park and then you can joy/use the affiliate programs . They require yearly dues.
We FT'd for 7 yrs. and used C2C......but we bought resale (cheap) and used the C2C a lot during our travels...in addition to COE Cgs, city parks, fairgrounds and boondocking.
Buy resale and use it...otherwise big waste on $$

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 ?
elitists? entitled?? to whom are you referring...or more like lumping together?

???: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
