R V Parks, or Whatever...

[homesicktexans_33009]

Howdy, Jack and Donna.

We are Escapee RV Club members and try to use the various parks in that
system. I also try to use the Escapees Travel Guide where all parks
listed give some form of discount, even 50%. We just renewed our
Passport America membership, 50 % discounts available there. We have the
Golden Access card which give a break on camping rates and we especially
like the campgrounds that are run by the Army Corps of Engineers. I try
and stay in a campground for at least a week. Better rate there.
Monthly rates will save you money too. I have a friend who maintains her
RVing friendships faithfully and frequently can stay on someone's
property and/or someone's RV lot.
Perhaps a move to a less expensive state might be in your future.
Hope this info is helpful. We live on a fixed income and carefully watch
our expenses.

Regards,
Jack and Liz Pearce

eating them alive. Several years ago, we traveled for 6 months and
22,600 miles in our SOB. We stayed at all kinds of parks, but it
seemed most were about $30 a night. Yes, we did a couple of weekly
rates, and Wally Worlds, but on the whole it was around the $30 a night,
which works out to some $900 for a month.

fees, with the nearest Doheny Beach state Park, to $60 a nite, and that
is for Dry Camping.. (Staying in a Super 8 Motel might be about the
same, only there you get Breakfast).
