Are you posters with the $20 and less rate not on full hookup but site only? We've been all over the country and with our Sam's discount or AAA rates have been $28-$32 for full hookup - and these are on the cheap end with small sites, usually minimal amenities on site and the location not convenient, but full hookup. Just wondering if you all have The Secret List from the Escapees Club? Thank you in advance.

There is a "secret" list available for Escapees members. It is called "Days End" . There are other websites which list free or low cost places to park an RV. Search for "free campgrounds".

Passport America will get you an under $20 rate at many places with full hookups. There are restrictions though. Many times no weekends or only one night, or off season only.

National Forest, some National Parks, many BLM, lots of small towns, have campgrounds for $20 or lower. Other than some of the small towns no elect at the under $20 rate. Many times there are dump stations available and fresh water to fill your tank.

Not that anyone would exaggerate the number of RV Parks that they stay at for $20 or less.

Personally we spend very few nights at private RV Parks, crammed into small sites with only the view of the RV next to you. Our RV, as most all RV's are, is self contained, so we have little need for water and sewer hookups. We have also worked to improve our house battery capacity and battery charging setup, along with an inverter to run the TV and computers so electricity is a luxury, not a necessity. This way we really don't need to stay at RV Parks.

You are on the Escapees' forum and don't realize that if you joined SKP you could stay at an SKP RV park for around $20 a night? Here is a list of the SKP co-op parks: http://www.escapees.com/Parking/CoOp.aspx and here is a list of the SKP "owned" parks: http://www.escapees.com/Parking/RainbowParks.aspx

And here is where you can sign up for an Escapee membership ($29.95 now plus a $10 enrollment fee - per year): www.escapees.com

I hate to be an unabashed promoter of staying at SKP parks... oh, wait... no I don't.

If you have the geezer pass to the national parks you can stay at Corps of Engineer parks for half price. We've had some great views with amazingly cheap hookups. Since most of these parks are where the Corps built a dam, hydro-powered electricity is often included.

The rates for camping in the infield at the Daytona International Speedway can set you back a pretty penny.

Technomadia posted it up on their blog. AM Solar daily rate was $760.

But, after 5 days they got a 800 watt solar install free.

Forgive my ignorance but the co-op RV thing is new to me. Is this popular? What are the benefits?

Thanks!

If you're a non-Escapee and want to try out a park, here's a great deal from the Benson, Arizona Escapee Co-op (Saguaro). Non-members can stay for a week with full hookup for $50.

It's a beautifully maintained park in southern Arizona with large lots.

Our most expensive was Fort Wildness, Disneyworld. It was around $1,100 for eight nights.
