Ok, thanks for the explanations.  I will plan on joining once I recover from some of the initial expenses of getting moved in and setup in my travel trailer. 

Ok, I guess that makes sense.. It's strange to me that so many business would only want to list with a particular directory an no others and isolate down their prospective customers so much.  I've only been full time RVing a week now, working remotely, and am starting to get annoyed at the number of different memberships and discount clubs every place wants you to sign up for.  It seems like every other day there's some new annual dues I'm supposed to pay to get reasonable rates or in this case it seemed like it's $100 to simply access a business listing.  But I guess if the membership is required to also gain access to most of the places they list, then I guess that's the rub.

Why don't people just list the spots from Harvest Host on Campendium or other free directories?  Is a Harvest Host's membership required to camp at most of the places listed on there or something?
