Any opinions on "Passport America?" Thinking about joining.

Love it. Especially traveling long distance. Review at night, call in the morn, make reservation for next nite. Half price! Only one I would not stay again. Had I googled, I would not stayed there. On one night stops its invaluable. Some have ended up staying a week.

I tried it, but it was not for us. We like very nice, expensive
campgrounds with all the comforts and amenities.

We use it a lot - A lot of campgrounds / RV parks have restrictions on when and how the discounts can be used, so read carefully.

Hard to beat PA. Use it a couple three times a year and it's paid for itself. Good web site for finding participating CG. If you are outside whatever restrictions the CG has published, ask for the PA rate anyway. I find they may likely say yes - as some money is better than no money.

We like it so much that we paid up for 5 years and got a 6th free. These are small fees and add hundreds of places to camp to our "menu".

Old-Biscuit · 12-12-2016, 04:36 PM

Used it several times when we FTd.

Some places OK.....some places very nice

50% off daily rate..$44/year.....what's not to like

Joining the Elks and buying Passport America are the two best moves I made for reducing camping fees.

Love it!! on our second five years using it! presently using it in Quartzsite!

As others have said, "we use it a lot and love it". Our two favorite local locations in the west are Pechanga RV Resort ($25. with restrictions) and Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort ($25. with restrictions). Just need to check the CG for their restrictions. Use is extensively during our annual 5-week summer vacation (DW is an educator).

Used it twice traveling cross country and wouldn't leave home without it. Some CG'S may not be fancy but Safe and secure spot to stop, OH Ya did I mention it was CHEEP!!!

We have used it in the past, and it pays for itself quickly. About the only downside is when there isn't a participating site anywhere our travel route.

I bought into their Lifetime membership years ago.
I just checked my 2017 summer trip and Passport America will save me $126.40 on it.

I have saved some summers over $200 + depending where I was traveling too.

We travel between 7-8 months per year. As others have said, it pays for itself. Once we've planned the route, I look for PA campgrounds on the PA campgrounds site. As also indicated check the PA campground info to find out limitations (length of stay, seasons, etc).

But I always check any of the campgrounds we use with other sites - primarily with RV Park Reviews - Trusted Reviews of Campgrounds & RV Parks. Just want to check what fellow vagabonds thought. As indicated, PA campgrounds run the spectrum from great to not so good.

Without any reservation, the fee pays for itself.
