Re: Camping Clubs
I wouldn't really call Good Sam's a camping club, although I doubt most people would agree.
I think of a "camping club" as more of a time-share or scheduled spot situation. In other words in my thinking a "camping club" would limit your choices to camping in certain places.
I think of Good Sam's, Passport America, Taco, and others as "discount clubs." For what they do, you'll certainly get your annual fee back if you camp regularly.
Having said that, I have stayed at RV campgrounds before I purchased a Good Sam membership, where all I had to do was ask for the Good Sam discount and they gave it to me. Come to think of it, I rarely have to prove that I have a current membership. Its a competition thing, I guess.
I buy into Good Sam because of the trip planning feature on their website. It gets me going in the right direction, and I adjust my trips from there.
