What we do not know

Everything above comes from the program's own page, read on 2026-09-19. These we have not read from a source, so we do not answer them:

  • the price of mail forwarding
  • anything about domicile, tax or state law
  • whether the club changed hands and what that does to dues

We also publish no opinion on campground quality, availability or whether a program is a good company. We have not stayed a single night in any of them.
