Membership Camping Thousand Trails, RPI and ROD

Now that you are settled in to your new 5thwheel it is time you become informed about membership camping. Membership camping requires a sizeable fee up front however can greatly reduce cost over the long run. We are Elite Members in Thousand Trails which allows us to also be members of RPI and ROD. As elite members of Thousand Trails preserves we can stay 3 weeks at one park and move to one of the 60 plus parks scattered across the United States. Since Thousand Trails is in many of the places we spend a lot of time we saved enough in the first year to cover the cost of membership. Technically we could live in Thousand Trials for about $552.00 dollars a year. This is our dues payment. Break this down by the number of nights one might stay and you can see this is very inexpensive. But the catch is one must use it. Thousand Trails for the most part are large 30 to 900 acre resorts with on site lakes and rivers, bays and ocean. RPI and its better counterpart Coast to Coast and AOR are membership that allows for 10.00 dollar a night camping for the entire length of the stay. RPI works well to cover gaps in thousand trails. ROD is similar and allows for free or discounted camping, but we don’t find we use ROD. That number Amanda sent you two a while back for free camping is for our sales guy at thousand trails. He a nice guy who will not overcharge you like some of the other sales people. To give you an idea of our yearly camping fees at pretty nice RV resorts. We will average about a $2000.00 yearly for our camping fees. This includes electric, water, sewer, trash. We spend most of the winter at the Orlando Thousand Trails so feel free to drop by if your near and if you need the number to our sales guy just email norcar303@gmail.com
