These clubs offer a great way to save money and meet fellow RVer's. And most offer extended discounts to other affiliated organizations. The plan for us is to do 25% boon docking (free) such as BLM locations (Bureau of Land Management), Harvest Hosts, staying with friends (if you have room), 25% RV park ($50.00/night), and 50% state parks as well as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sites ($35.00/night). We spent a lot of time & energy pulling together our resources to help us budget better. I'm sure as time goes on, we'll be patting ourselves on the back for making the good choices but also kicking ourselves for the poor ones. Which ever way it turns out, it's all about learning and doing.
