Im new to Rving so I’m learning. Passport America locations in the NW was pretty spotty, all private CGs . Can’t complain though, it helped. Camping World membership was worth it for Rv stuff.
I like State Parks but they have limited full hook ups but I like them better than Resorts. I’m going to look into Boondockers — . I’m finding travel is pretty expensive .
Thanks for the video, was very informative. We stayed one time, summer 2021, at a Thousand Trails (NC) campground. Of 20 yrs of camping, including dry/boondocking it was the worst experience we have ever had. Very poorly maintained campground, the sewer conncetion was a dirt hole in the ground and we couldn’t even find it, someone from the office had to come and .show us where it was we then had to remove the rock that had been placed over the hole. Maybe based on one stay was not enough to make a judgement but it really put us off. We did not renew.
Thank you!
Great list of memberships. We have the Harvest Host/Boondockers Welcome combo. We plan to use it a lot over the next year.
Great video thank you! I’m an OTR truck driver usually out for 5 weeks then I’m off for 2 weeks. No sense in buying a home so I’m considering this lifestyle of just camping for my hometime. Looking for a small toy hauler for my street glide. This would be great to camp in different states, unload the bike and explore.
We always love watching your Top 5 video’s, Thanks for sharing another with us, Hope your both keeping safe & well & having a nice start to this week 👍🥰😍xx
Great job on the top 5 passes guys! I really like how you shared the costs and the reservation processes for each one😊😊
Awesome, my friends. 😍💕 Big like. 👍 Have a good day.🤗✨
Great video very informative about Campground Memberships 🙂👍❤️
Great info! Thank you! It was good to see your breakdown of the memberships and hearing your rationale of each one. We will be in the UP (not Maine!) this summer too!
Great content – Thanks guys!
It may have been mentioned here, but Harvest Host has acquired Boondockers Welcome.
Great video! We just add Boondockers Welcome to our Harvest Host package. Can’t wait to start using it.
Great list! You guys keep detailed records of your expenses – that’s pretty good! I think that’s cool that you meet cool people who are willing to take you in their car and show you around town with boondockers welcome.
Love how you are always helping us with these awesome videos.
Well done. I dropped Harvest Host because after the yearly fee and buying things at the host it was costing way more than just staying at an RV Park. Good Sam and Passport America have deals so you can have a membership as low as $25 a year so they work well. We are dropping Thousand Trails which is good if you are close to their parks but we hardly are. We have kept boondockers welcome because you meet some cool people and they are all over the place. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you, this is incredibly helpful!
Let’s be Real.. if you’re going to mention fuel discounts at truck stops.. you should also acknowledge the fact the Truck Stops universally charge at least $.20 more per gallon than area gas stations, and I never have any issues getting in and out of them with my 37′ 5th-wheel. And maybe I missed it, but you spent $2948 for 162 nights, but how much did you spend on memberships?
Thousand trails packages are pricey upfront. Limited places to stay and not all campgrounds are nice like state parks.
I have had Harvest Hosts for now going on 2 years. We just got Boondockers Welcome this year. The "ask" for the night stay for Harvest Hosts is only $20 spent at the vendor/farm that is hosting you. You can be very frugal and keep to the 20. We specifically look for food options, so we can enjoy ourselves and just walk back to our camper and crash. If you eat out a lot, this does work out financially. If you don’t, $20 is still a phenomenally cheap night to stay.
I never thought of a harvest host as away to save money… I don’t even think it’s meant to really. It’s about the experience.
I think there should be a disclaimer about a Good Sam membership saving you 10% at Camping World. Yes you save 10% off their regular price but the prices are so inflated to begin with, you aren’t saving anything. Dozens of times I have bought the exact same product from Amazon for a lot less even after the discount Good Sam provides. Same with Gas or Diesel. Pilot/Flying J locations are always more expensive than Loves, TA/Petrol. Personally I have a Diesel truck that pulls my 5th Wheel. I have a TSD Logistics membership. It was free to get and it blows any other discount fuel card out of the water but it’s Diesel only right now. Since I got that card, I haven’t even considered stopping at a Pilot/Flying J location.
Hi! This is one of the super videos I have seen today! Keep uploading such superb videos. Have a wonderful day! Stay Connected. 👍
New subscriber here. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed the video of the overview of the various memberships. Very informative!
I have one question for clarity. We were told by 1k Trails that they did away with the 4 night park to park rule. In your video you state that you do it. Is it true that the 4 night stay and then to another park still in affect?
Thanks so much and safe travels!
Great breakdown. You know we are always about the best value for your money. 👍
Great video and channel. Good information. I sometimes camp at campgrounds. Thanks for sharing this. New follower here. Crow✌️
thanks for sharing, hoping to in the future, be able to do some of that with my wife. We’ve talked about a 40 footer.🙏🙏👍 enjoy your video. Been a little while since I’ve been to the U.P., work still keeps me busy.Safe travel U2.
Awesome sharing enjoyed watching always stay connected 💖
Ask a gal who is about to hit the roads full time, I really appreciated your info! I have already purchased Memberships for Passport American, Harvest Host and Boondockers Welcomed .. I also have a life time senior state park pass as well. Then only thing keeping me from traveling all over the US right now is the cost of gas. Great video!
Great information. I am retiring in a few months, and we plan to take off in our 5th Wheel for a year or so. We have joined Harvest Host and Boondockers Welcome, but I thought you could only stay at those locations for 1 night. You said something about staying 5 nights, or did I misunderstand? We are looking in to Thousand Trails with the Trails Collection but are so on the fence about doing the yearly or purchasing a resale membership. It was good to see that you can save a lot on other options.
This was some really good info. I’d totally do Harvest Hosts if we were retired where we could go more often. I think it would be awesome to camp at an orchard, winery, goat farm and whatever else there is offered. Boondockers Welcome was another we had looked into. But again, since we can’t go on a regular basis, not sure it would benefit us. By the time any would be beneficial for us, they’ll be so expensive we won’t want to be members lol.
We are D-minus 7 weeks from take-off and I’ve been reading and reviewing all 5 of these and THANK YOU for this video – I feel like you just verified the solidity of my opinion and my plan!
So Glad we got to host you. Come back again. Thrilled when our picture popped up that we helped make your BW stay the 1 choice of memberships.
Thanks for sharing!!
All I hear is the background music. If your going to add music while your talking you should add captions as well
I didn’t renew my KOA membership either. Most of their campgrounds are older and overpriced. 10% off a butt load of money is still too much money.
We agree 100% with your top 5- we have them all too! We even just got the KOA and will not renew it as we don’t think we will be staying at KOAs. $18 rocks for average camping- Can’t wait to see your upcoming adventure! See you soon!
$13 per night average. That is great. Now we just have to retire. Yep we will be part timing it too. Ok, does you cat have a bell. We were not sure if it was your or ours jingling
Is there still a way to get the $ 50-a-year rate for Boondockers Welcome?
Thank you for this it will definitely help us decide
Excellent suggestions and wonderful information. I use Harvest Host and found it to be very good overall. I like supporting local businesses. So Boondockers Welcome is interesting and I will investigate this. Thank you. Dave at Someday is Today.
Thanks for the information
Thanks for the information! I didn’t know any of that. When I was a kid my dad had Good Sam and KOA that was about it. Some of those were awesome deals!
Great information ❤ thank you.
I hear a lot of complaints about non-availability in the thousand trails campgrounds: did you experience this? I am still hoping to start my RV adventures by next year so praying that costs will go down by then so my retirement dollars can last…
Great job on this list. Very informative
Btw… I am learning the ukulele now so I can play on the road when we do decide to full time RV
We dropped Passport America because we got tired of the rules and also being given the worst sites sometimes in a park. Granted it might be only for a night but we still want to enjoy the stay.
Appreciate this very useful information, you reinforced some ideas I had, but didn’t trust as a newbie! Great video, thanks!!
Very helpful—thank you!
Felicitaciones 👏 gran trabajo son una bonita pareja. Muy buena información estamos en el mismo camino. Ayudas y te ayudan. Tks
