Like your Passport America Membership, it will only be worth it if you can use it enough. There are not parks in every state or every area you may want to stay. Some of the parks are not that great and others we find good to excellent. We travel about 5 months a year. We normally get the Southeast Zone. We normally spend 2 weeks in a park, so then must be out of the system for 7 days. That only leaves so many opportunities to use the membership during our time on the road. In order to move park to park you cannot stay more than 4 nights in one park. The Trails Collection add on is not worth it for us because if you stay one night you have to be out of the system for 7 days. So far we have not had any problems getting spots due to the 60 day reservation window, but do make reservations as soon as the window opens. We average about 50 nights a year in the Thousand Trails membership parks which makes our nightly cost about $12. We have used the discount at other Encore Resorts a couple of times, but they are still pretty expensive.
Safe travels!
