Check out the YouTube channel, Next Exit. They bought a TT membership for $4000 and something like $600 a year dues and stay in every campground they are at for free unless they upgrade to 50 amps which is an extra $3. If you do the math at $35 a night the $4600 a year will pay for itself in the first 131 days or 4.3 months. I've never been a big fan of camping memberships but after watching a number of his videos I'm kind of re-thinking my position. this Next Exit guy is really happy with it.

That's not $4600 a year it's only that the first year. Year 2 on is only the $600 dues.
We're TT members and it's saved us quite a bit over the last few years.
I heard a saying the other day about a condo that fits what we've found with TT's. "If you're looking for a decent place to stay it works fine. If you're looking for a Hilton or Marriott type resort this isn't for you."

My zone pass contract runs through Sept 2020 (I signed a 4 year contract). Interested in a recent Odyssey contract (120 window, 28 days etc) if anyone has one they want to sell in the next year or so, please let me know. Not in a big hurry so if you want to plan your sale, 2020 would be perfect. Very happy with TT.

Check out campground membership outlet out of Orlando, (actually Clermont) FL. They always have memberships for sale.
Also if you are on Facebook there is a group "Thousand Trails (Outdoor World) & Encore -- The Good AND The Bad" that I belong to that people drop in to sell memberships on too. You can hear a lot of "bad" on this site as most people like to complain and few like to give praise.

Stay away from Thousand Trails unless inexpensive is most important; they are all under local control, with almost no amenities carried through from one to another, or level of service. The fees, and extra’s you pay for will vary greatly; from power, sites, mail/packages, WiFi etc... You can not count on anything; preserve, to preserve. Except a varying state of neglected mantinance. They all cater to a large population, of “seasonal/annual” sites; and their local buddies, who more often than not, do not follow the rules. It is especially disheartening to be a “See something Say something “ person, and be ignored. While the few of us that actually bought into it get treated like second class folks; for following the rules. Like actually staying in your site; and not using, a 50 amp site, in a restricted stay preserve, as your private storage lot. While the park is FULL. Or packing your Sh*# up late; then leaving for the day instead of vacating the site for others coming in...
Oh ya mine for sale

I'm not sure I have ever gotten any credit for anyone, but my membership is GS-671013 . let me know if you join and then I will know if it actually works because I have given the number out before and never gotten anything.
You will love PA you save a lot of money!
