Question Escapees RV Club

[Joe Dutchstar]

From the members of Escapees that I have met through my travels it seems to be a good group of folks. From my experience most are serious RVers.

Any members care to comment on their experiences with the group and/or at campgrounds?

I have not met anyone in the group. You going to join them?

The group looks to be focused on travelers and campers. The groups I have run across were mostly full timers. One group was in Death Valley having an Off Season (for Death Valley) Group Get together. A fun group of folks.
Everything I read about them is focused on Traveling, get togethers, and meeting fellow travelers. Much of what they offer is to make full timing possible. While Full Timing is not me goal, travel is, as economical and comfortable as possible.

I have been with Escapees for about 5 years. I have stayed at numerous Escapees campgrounds and USUALLY they have something going on in the clubhouse every night, be it sewing, cards, bingo, jam sessions, etc. but Covid changed that temporarily. The campgrounds are normally pretty decent, the one in Benson, Az I could put my 38' fiver in sideways and still have room. Also, the prices are pretty decent too. Most are around $360/ month plus electric. They have quite a few other benefits for us and the do not care what kind of RV you have. THIS SITE has a lot of info.

We checked into joining them a couple different times. I think there are good things and bad things about the organization. We prefer to plan our travels around what we want to see and explore and not where we feel to have to go to take advantage of membership campgrounds. We can keep our annual average nightly camping fees down to just over $20 per night without buying into such memberships so far.

I understand for some it is appealing and work well.

Joe, there is no requirement that you use their campgrounds. You can come and go at your leisure.

 

[Joe Dutchstar]

BTW membership is $49 per year.

 

[Gronk]

They also have a large network of campgrounds the give a discount of up to 50% for Escapees Discount Park Directory · Escapees RV Club

We joined about three years ago. At the time it looked interesting but so far, other than the magazine, there's no value in it for us. It's unlikely we'll be renewing.

I am a fan of Escapees. We have been members for three years and use them for our mail service, which has been flawless and handled exactly as they say. We have been to two of their "Hangouts" - one in Texas for a week of pickleball lessons and the other for a week of Mardi Gras activities in Louisiana. Both Hangouts were fun and a great value with experienced, paid leadership. The only other event we have participated in was their annual 'Escapade' - it's their big event for the year with about 400 RVs, held in Lebanon, TN in 2022. That was a very good mix of people, RVs and activities. We have never stayed at one of their RV parks, but will continue our membership for the mail service, if for no other reason.
