- Are you looking for ways to save money on your RVing trips? RV memberships can be a great way to do just that! In this video, we share our favorite RV memberships that have actually saved us money, including Thousand Trails, Passport America, and Harvest Hosts. We also talk about how we use BLM sites to save money on camping.
Thousand Trails: Thousand Trails is a membership club that gives you access to over 200 campgrounds across the United States and Canada. Members get 50% off nightly rates, and there are no blackout dates. Thousand Trails campgrounds are typically very nice, with amenities like pools, playgrounds, and laundry facilities.
Passport America: Passport America is a discount camping program that gives you 50% off nightly rates at over 1,500 campgrounds across the United States and Canada. Passport America memberships are very affordable, and they're a great way to save money on camping, especially if you're going to be staying at multiple campgrounds during your trip.
Harvest Hosts: Harvest Hosts is a unique membership program that gives you access to overnight stays at over 3,000 farms, wineries, breweries, and other businesses across the United States. Harvest Hosts members get to stay for free, but they're encouraged to purchase products or services from the businesses they stay at. Harvest Hosts is a great way to experience new places and support local businesses.
BLM sites: BLM sites, also known as Bureau of Land Management sites, are government-owned campsites that are typically located in remote areas. BLM sites are very affordable, many of them are even free. BLM sites typically don't have many amenities, but they're a great option if you're looking for a peaceful and secluded place to camp.
If you're looking for ways to save money on your RVing trips, we highly recommend checking out these RV memberships. We've used all of them ourselves, and we've saved a lot of money thanks to them.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR TH-cam CHANNEL 👉🏻 bit.ly/38PiWZz

Hey Y'all!
We are just regular folks who LOVE to camp and meet new people. We have moved up from a pop-up to a travel trailer to a 5th wheel to our 2022 Keystone Fuzion 428 triple axle toy hauler. Ours does look a little different because we opted for the Keystone Fuzion full body paint scheme. If you see us camping, stop by and say hi, we are always excited to meet other campers who are enjoying the camping life.

Which memberships do you currently use? How many memberships do you have?
Hi y'all, i'm 68 years young just retired and sold my home (too big for just me). I am presently building a 1000 sq. ft. home and living in my 32' pull camper. I got to say i'm kinda digging it, well my Great Pyrenees not so much. Haha. I'm now thinking your RV living sounds good maybe more part time anyway for me. I would have to invest in solar electric system and more batteries to do more host sites and boondocking, but I have always liked to travel and now seems to be a good time. Y'all got me very interested in a new chapter of my life. Thanks for everything you do!
Thank you so much for the excellent info! You just made life so much easier for us ! Thanks again !
Glad to be able to help.
Frugal! 😊 yes.
Frugal doesn't make you cheap.
I've been trying to explain this to someone that refuses to understand it for 50 years. 🇺🇸
Exactly!!
Sounds like you are married. 😂
Thousand Trails and Harvest Hosts have worked well for me the past four years.
It is a great way to save money for sure
Oh darn I wish I knew that about passport America. I just found out about a lifetime membership watching you and then to find out it’s gone made me sad. I really liked your channel though. I’m going to subscribe thank you
Sorry they got rid of it. They might run specials once in a while. I would keep an eye out. Thanks for subscribing
Do you do the National Park membership? Is it worth it?
We actually don’t have one yet
@@FindUsCamping national park memberships are a deal especially if you’re 62 or older. It’s $80 for the rest of your life. If you’re younger than that, I forget what cost is, but it’ll get you into as many parts as you can visit in a year.
Great job explaining all the ups and downs of those memberships. We use almost all of those
Thank you. We try to give the good and the bads of everything. Nothing is perfect. Unfortunately
Thanks for all the great information. Unfortunately we saw this video a little bit too late on passport America, I’ve never even considered them in the past, but I went ahead and bought the five year plan, the lifetime of course is no longer available. We are hostin North Carolina for Boondockers Welcome , we are also with Harvest host, and several others. But that’s good information you guys put out. Hopefully we’ll see you on the road.
Hopefully maybe one day passport America will go lifetime again. We use it all the time. Thanks for watching. Hope to see you on the road.
Very helpful information, thank you folks for sharing!
We are happy to do it. Hope it helps
Thanks for all the awesome tips
You are absolutely welcome
Great video! Such good info. Is it difficult to find open campsites when you are booking with Thousand Trails? Do you know if the member campgrounds limit the number of sites they open up to members? We would likely get a zone membership to try it out and wondering if we’d have trouble finding openings with the shorter booking window. Thanks for all you do!
It depends on the campground you’re trying to get into, of course the higher demand spots go faster than the others. You can email us at finduscamping@gmail.com about which campgrounds you’re thinking about and we will be happy to let you know our thoughts.
Ok. Thanks.
Are there any Long term thousand trail membership? Long term as in Month or Longer.
We can stay in the system and camp in the thousand trails network for the whole year. However if you are a transient RVer you can only stay for 21 days without moving to your next location. You can get an annual spot at a thousand trails park and stay longer at a time if you would like that better.
Thanks You for what you guys told up . I love hering from full timers.
Glad you are here!
Hi guys...thanks for the information...corn maze was awesome...just leaving the HDT rally...heading home..you guys stay safe...looking forward to your next video...J&A
Safe travels. Hope to see you guys at one of our campout soon!!

How do you get a discount at the gas stations for Good Sams? 30:45
We use our Good Sams card at Pilots
Saw you guys at Sunflower Festival! I was in the 3 wheeled scooter on O2.
👋 we remember you. It was nice meeting you!!
62 can’t come quick enough and retirement 😂
lol. Don’t rush 62. It will be here before you know it!!
3 years - congrats!! Dues freeze at 62, love that!!
Thanks. We are loving the RV life
Yes! Membership dues freeze at age 62! That’s why I was happy to have just turned 62.
Thanks for the confirmation. We still have a couple more years!
TT dues do NOT automatically freeze at 62. That feature is totally dependent upon the wording in your contract (of which there are many). We have been TT members since 2008 and our contract does NOT provide for frozen dues.
@@gonebyrv9748 thanks for clarification. Ours states it is at 62 and we have heard of others having the same age.
@@gonebyrv9748 mine states it. I had to call and tell them plus provide my proof of age. It must be dependent on what your contract states.
Ours Froze at 62, but what doesn't freeze is the encore park and trails collection. That price keeps creeping up on us each year. I really like our Thousand Trails membership. It has saved us tons of money. But I feel that the yearly price hikes on that part of the contract were not clearly addressed. But in general, TT is the best ticket in town, especially for fulltimers and at least up to now.
Think that kid just photobombed you! 🤪👍🏻
Thank you for this video! This is the most informative video I have seen on any of these memberships! I’m looking to get into the RV life in the next year and have needed information like this!
Thanks. If you have any other questions please let us know. Good luck on the rv life. You are going to love it!
It’s February 2024 Now
Hello, Yes you found an older video but all of our tips still work.
What if you have a situation where your wife or husband is hospitalized and you can not move rv right away?
Some places will work with you if a situation like that comes up. Lets just hope this doesn’t happen
D0 you know anything about America the beautiful
We do not. Sorry
At 2 of there spots I only got a $5 discount. Very disappointed. Especially since I bought a 5 year plan.
We haven’t seen that problem. Where were these spots?
@FindUsCamping One was in Chapelle Nebraska, but they guy only charged $20 to start with. And the other was in Kansas, I think, but also again, it was only $20 to start.
@@sherryarcher4832 I'm sorry to hear that. We have not run into that issue yet
OK, you guys have the Premier membership with TT. I’ll be traveling in a small van. I’m not full time. From what I understand if you buy one of the zones, you can stay four days and hop from park to park WITHOUT seven days out. this may be ideal to go and see a lot of the area and not hang out for a week or more. I will have minimal set up.
Clasping your hands like that, sent me away.
Sorry about that. I happen to talk with my hands. Always have!
@@FindUsCampingThat has to be the most absurd reason to not watch someone’s video, your video was great. I also talk with my hands, and really most of my body😂They must have expected you guys to sit like robots while you do your video. Thanks for all the tips and info!!
@@Mclaughlin9916 thank you. It is easier to move around then just sit still. Like you said it would probably be a very boring video
Great information, but this guy comes across as disrespectful. Um, she answered your question at 26 seconds in and that was only the first time I noticed that. Ugh
Awe. Thanks for commenting
I actually thought the opposite
@@carolmaplesden916 thank you
Do you have a book out yet?
lol. Not yet
Thanks you guys.
You are welcome
Loved this video
Thanks. Hope it helps
@@FindUsCamping a lot especially when you said about buying our membership before we retire
@@RickandDarcirvadventures we give that advise to everyone.
Not all T T Memberships have dues freeze at age 62. I have had a TT membership for many years and bought it from another member but before making the purchase, I called TT to be sure it was a legitimate and that the dues would freeze at 62 with the membership I was buying and had provided them with the membership number. They said all was good to go and yes, the dues would freeze when I reached 62. They did not hold to that and when I questioned it, TT said that this membership did not have that benefit. I tried several times with no luck and was told once at one of the TT meetings that they used too have, that I should call in again because I was entitled to that. I am now 81 and have approached the issue several times over the years, and was told that I did not qualify. I am still a member at the moment but will probably be dropping out soon as the dues are very high and I don't use it as often. Not looking for sympathy here but just saying that not all dues freeze so get it in writing!
Can one just drop out without financial repercussions? Serious question. I thought it was similar to a time share and one could only get out if the membership was resold.
great video you guys can stay with us again anytime.
Did we stay with you before??
@@FindUsCamping in our driveway in western Iowa
@@riddingforever are you the ones that also allows the motorcycle tents to stay on your property? Trying to remember exactly who you are. Sorry
Where can I gagood used B vans. I am a beginner😢.?
We think it is better to get a used one from a dealership. They can usually show you how to use everything correctly
Thanks great info!
Glad it was helpful!
