Does anybody have experience with Outdoor Adventures in Michigan, or with Coast to Coast network?
I'm HIGHLY skeptical of anything that resembles a high pressure sale, but the Outdoor Adventures group bought the campsite where we had our seasonal in Grand Haven (effectively kicking us out) a few years ago. The kids always ask if we can camp there again, but we aren't members so we can't even go in. So when we bought a new trailer and were offered a free 21 nights pass, I went ahead and listened to their sales pitch. I can see why people might buy into it based on their pitch, but I highly doubt all the information is accurate and/or as simple as they say it is. I feel like there's a lot of half truth to the whole thing.
ANYWAY, the reviews online are horrible, but it's got me wondering if there are people out there who have had good experiences and really value the membership and maintenance dues that they pay for it?
I also didn't know about Coast to Coast, which supposedly links all these local networks together nationwide and you can camp for $10 per night in any affiliate campground. I'm wondering if anyone has experience using that? Is it really $10? Are there extra fees? Pay extra for extra people and/or pets with something like that?
Membership prices are extremely high, and the chances of me buying a membership to something like this is extremely low, but I can also see the value in having something where you can book in advance or spur of the moment and you have camping options that are already largely paid for.
I'd love to hear your experiences, particularly if you have it and love it and use it all the time.
