Passport America Discount Campgrounds:

Is it a good program? Does it make sense to join?

Re: Passport America Campgrounds

This appears to be an RV Park discount program. If you talk to RVers, a campground and an RV park are the same thing. If you talk to a camper, they are two completely separate beasts.

If you are looking to do traditional camping, then this program would be a waste of money. If you are looking for full-hookup sites in areas where you want to do sightseeing, then it might be worth the money. In that case, I would look at the parks listed for locations that interest you and compare them to non-participating parks - are they nicer than what you can find on your own; are the discounted prices worth the difference in quality; etc.

Rates look good
But i would call individual campgrounds first and see if its valid
1 i looked up near me listed is old name/ownership
So that campground hasnt been updated in about 5 years

I see the issue that discount is active only within a certain period of time. For example, in Florida the discount does not apply for months of Dec- March, when they probably expect a lot of customers from the North.
