Members can purchase a membership at any one of the RV parks in the Coast to Coast network. Coast to Coast is part of a larger company that also owns Good Sam, Camping World, Gander Outdoors and Overton’s.

New Coast to Coast RV Camping Club memberships cannot be purchased online. Instead campers must purchase a membership through one of the RV parks in the club’s network.

Coast to Coast offers a free 3-day/2-night stay at select resorts to allow potential members to tour the resort and learn more about their program. Click here to find a network resort offering free stays.

Annual memberships cost $89.95 per year. However, the major expenses associated with a Coast to Coast membership are the home resort membership and maintenance fees. These fees vary for each home resort, but the one-time enrollment fee ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

The only resort I have seen publish prices online is Woodhaven Lakes in Sublette, IL. Woodhaven Lakes charges a $550 enrollment fee.

When selecting a home resort for your Coast to Coast RV Camping Club membership, it is important to know about their 125-mile rule. Members are not allowed to book reservations at any Coast to Coast resorts that are within a 125 drive from their home resort.

If you are interested in RV clubs, see our complete guide to all RV membership programs. We personally have chosen to purchase Good Sam, Passport America, Harvest Hosts and Elite Basic Thousand Trails memberships. Coast to Coast RV Camping Club is a great option, but Thousand Trails had more parks in locations close to our friends and family.
