Camping memberships
Passport America break-even
Passport America is the cheapest membership on this list, which makes it the easiest to justify. The catch is the hit rate — how often a participating park is actually where you need to be, on a night they honour the discount.
Their network is thinner in some regions than others.
Day limits, blackout dates, seasonal restrictions and max-stay caps all cut this.
Usually half price.
The hit rate is the whole calculation. Most people who feel burned by Passport America set it near 100% in their heads. Participating parks are unevenly distributed, many limit the discount to certain days of the week or cap the number of nights, and some suspend it in peak season. Sixty percent honoured is a fair starting assumption, not a pessimistic one.
