That one looked sort of like an RV graveyard.

However, the one we are in right now (Thousand Trails in Morgan Hill, CA)is gorgeous. Our site is very large, but yes, it is water and electric only. It is level, grassy, and in the 90's for temp. We have stayed in some great membership parks, and some lousy open-to-the-public parks. And vise versa of course. Everyone's experience is definitely their own, and like everything you read on line, open to challenge!Jerry and Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381487159402842587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-53591773523508616632011-07-07T09:04:54.531-07:002011-07-07T09:04:54.531-07:00As others have stated, your honest evaluation will...As others have stated, your honest evaluation will help us from making the same type of mistake.

I suppose there is some fine print in the contract that won't let you resign your membership. <br /><br />They have no problem taking your money and then not living up to maintaining the campgrounds in reasonable condition. <br /><br />I'm going to avoid Western Horizons like the plague.Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-45788187292034041142011-07-07T05:41:20.634-07:002011-07-07T05:41:20.634-07:00We almost purchased a used membership a few years ...We almost purchased a used membership a few years back--we think we are very glad we didn't!Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-38387942077807024852011-07-07T05:40:00.780-07:002011-07-07T05:40:00.780-07:00Thank you so much for this post.

We love Passport America though. You do find run down parks through this also, but for the most part they are pretty nice, and good for a one night stay.

It helps those of us who have not yet made the decision on member parks. I have mostly good things about all the Escapees parks but we haven't stayed in one yet. Hope you find something better on down the road.Donna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161069942110860372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-30920335606029162672011-07-06T17:14:22.917-07:002011-07-06T17:14:22.917-07:00We are Coast to Coast members and agree with what ...We are Coast to Coast members and agree with what you wrote.<br /><br />Just today we headed to our next location, a membership park and ended up finding another park to stay instead. This is not the first time, we pulled in and pulled right back out for several reasons, many that you mentioned but others as well.<br /><br />What we notice is we are always put into the less then desireable sites with many times only water and electric, or surrounded by trees that look as if they will fall if we blow on them. With the membership parks, we have noticed there are less great parks and many more less then desireable ones.<br /><br />Again, I wonder how they get these high ratings. Not by what we see!Along the Way with JnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016391687029664293noreply@blogger.com
