I own a deeded site in a rv park that offers Coast to Coast classic. My buy-in is $550 plus $89 per year. Amortizing the cost over 5 years, I only need to use the system 7 nights a year to be at break-even. However, if I purchase a deluxe membership from Southern Trails RV park i Georgia, the buy-in is approximately $1,000 with an annual fee of $249 (park and C2C fees). Amortizing the cost over 5 years requires using the system 18 days a year. I'm wondering is the additional cost of getting a deluxe membership worth it. Does the 90 day window to make a reservation versus a 60 day make that much of a difference? I'm not sure that I will know our plans that far out. Also, I'm not sure that I want to spend more than 7 days in any one park. Just inquiring what others have found.
I will also get Passport America and use Escapee parks. We will also use state parks and national forest campgrounds.
