Passport America

I have mentioned a few times that Passport America offers 50% off camping fees at several 1000 campgrounds across America.  I Joined shortly after they opened in 1992 and use them most of the time.  Most offer free cable and WiFi, but a few are places I would never use.  We always check the CG ratings in Woodall's before staying in one.  I am only a satisfied customer and have no financial interest in the organization, but thought you might want to take a look at what they offer.  On oour trip to the SouthWest last month, we paid as little as $11.00/night with full hook-ups.

I believe we are talking about 2 entirely different bargains.  There is the Golden Age Passport (they changed the name since I got one 9 years ago) that has a one-time purchase price of $10.00.  With it, I and everyone in my vehicle get into Federal Parks, Monuments, etc., free of charge and when you enter a Federal facility that has campgrounds, you get 50% off of the camping fee.  These are available to those that are 65 or older.  I surf fish regularly in a Federal wildlife preserve without paying the normal $5.00 fee.  Being handicapped, I park in a handicapped space adjacent to the walkway across the dunes next to the ocean.  As you indicated, there are some advantages for an old coot like me.

PassPort America is not associated with the Federal Government.  You pay an annual fee, receive 50% off privately-owned campground fees, but I save that much in 2 nights of camping.  Some of the CGs are in the Coast to Coast chain, many are Good Sam parks.  Most are nice, but a few not so nice.  I have noticed that the KOA CGs do not honor Passport American, but KOAs are normally over-priced anyhow. 

I won't bore you members any further about Passport America.  If you want more details, visit their web site and you can even check to see what campgrounds are in your area or wherever your trip may take you.
