I've had friends that had Coast to Coast and it didn't work for them. I've been to a presentation also and did not buy. Thousand Trails is the 100 pound gorilla in the membership business. They sell zone memberships which are a good way to get your feet wet, without a multi year obligation and a big buy in. IMHO, membership are good if the campgrounds are in areas you'll use. There are also good deals available on the resale market. We belong to Outdoor World which is now part of Thousand Trails. There are 16 campgrounds from Florida to Maine, with all of them on the east coast except one. I paid $200 to purchase from someone that wasn't using it. My annual dues are $485 and we probably spend 60 or 70 days a year in their campgrounds at no daily charge. I get a lot of use out of Passport America. We're in a Passport park tonight in Texas. It costs about $40 a year and you get half price camping. Remember, campground membership sales people make used car salesmen look like saints.
