Campground memberships come in all sizes and shapes to suit just about any budget. Not only do you save money on nightly camping fees, but you can usually recoup the membership fee if you decide to sell your membership. Safety, security and well-kept grounds tend to be the norm in these campgrounds because owners have a vested interest in watching their annual fees at work. Finding the best campground membership starts with knowing your travel plans.
Identify the areas you plan to travel to during the next year.
Find campgrounds offering memberships in locations you plan to visit. Look online for details and to request brochures or call the local chamber of commerce to request phone numbers to campground membership associations in their area.
Review each campground's membership features to determine the best ones to meet your needs. Find out how many consecutive nights you can stay and make sure that number fits your itinerary. Also, if you want to travel to different locations, find out if you can go from campground to campground within their system.
Make sure the campgrounds you want to stay at offer sites large enough for your recreational vehicle.
Visit the campground to get a feel for what it offers, then be prepared to buy a membership using a credit card or cash or call the campground and use your credit card to purchase your campground membership over the phone.
