Campground Membership Benefits

The main benefit of being a member of a Private Campground or RV Resort, is that you'll always be around 'Like-minded' travelers that know the value of friendly, clean and safe environments. For families, a private resort can offer parents the chance to truly relax.

Besides family oriented events and activities, it is very common to see children participating in supervised activities, while the parents have the chance to enjoy some quality time together. Something not typically done in a public facility.

Typically, some of the benefits to being a member/owner are: free or member rate camp/RV sites, inexpensive rentals (trailers, cabins, etc.), family and theme events, supervised children activities and short notice reservations (with the exception of holidays).

Home Resort Network: Resorts (typically owned by the same parent company) that you may use as your Home Resort, regardless of which location you actually purchased into.

Affiliate Resort Network: Travel to hundreds of campgrounds, paying a small site fee when you visit:
Resort Parks International | Coast to Coast | Thousand Trails | Western Horizon Resorts

Note: These are some of the larger networks. Find Cheap Vacations is not affiliated with any of the networks listed.
