Thanks for the replies and the feedback. Just a little clarification, we aren't really looking at the seasonal option or a campground membership but actually buying a site in a private park. The idea would be to use it when we wanted and perhaps rent it out when we were not using it. More of a long term strategy for retirement. We also like to travel to different places when we can. After looking at some today with price tags of $70,000 and up we are rethinking the idea.

We found it great for over 20 years in a "Private membership" park. Worked great to drive an hour be out in forest so to speak and just open the water valve and unlock door and be camping. No hooking or unhooking everything is already to go. Nothing getting broke into (sheds or RV's)HAve had 5th wheel at parked for over 20 years.
Then when the economy feel apart things changed and not for better.
Grown kids (20's and on up to over 40's) started moving back home with Mommy and Daddy or, in this case, out to the parents RV.
Now in 2014 (6 years later) they are still there along with their 2 or 3 used cars that they will fix "someday" with their shoes still under the parents dinner table waiting to be feed.
So if you have "bylaws" that can be changed keep a close eye on who or which "Board of directors" is running things.
We loved "our" park until "homesteaders" moved in. So handy to get out of city during our working years.
If your park is owned by private person That is a good thing IMO.
Look around how much dust and dirt are on cars to guess how long you will have to stare at them. Same goes for plastic tarps on RV's that wave in the breeze for years and are "going to fix RV someday". Same way with kids toys, washing machines on covered decks etc.
So the more rules might be more protection for you if ran like a private business.
We also have an "Escapees" lot and don't have any of those problems.
So see what type of management your park has and what your getting into before you get separated with your $$$.
