Escapees

Andy was working on our budget today and our future travel plans. We've been finding that a lot of the RV parks in California/Nevada are quite pricey and we can't find enough Passport Americas (discount club) in this region to help us stay within our budget. We've heard about the Escapees Club for years, but it wasn't til now that we saw a need. There are a couple of these RV Parks along our potential route. They offer either 15% discount or a flat reduced rate. We found that with Passport it paid for itself almost immediately. We believe that Escapees will offer the same return.

To give you an idea, we have budgeted $25/night for RV Parks/campgrounds. In Lake Tahoe the nightly rate averages around $50/night. That could cut our trip in half if we paid those kinds of fees. That's also why we're staying in Minden, NV - 15 miles away - and not on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Actually, Minden is a great place to stay: cute town, pretty scenery, good proximity to hit Carson City and Lake Tahoe. We're glad we're here and hope to take advantage of some of the local biking and trails.
