In 2009 my parents purchased a membership, after attending one of their dinner / sales meetings.  They had just purchased a new rv, and like many others, were invited to attend the meeting.

They decided that they liked what they heard, and purchased the membership.  The next thing we know, they are gone for weeks at a time, exploring the ten campgrounds that they had access to.  At the time we didn't know that they had this membership.

Out of curiosity, my wife and I inquired into their new found love for camping.  They invited us to go camp with them, since children were allowed to visit as guests for free.  We had zero problems getting in. 

The staff was amazingly gracious.  We do a lot of camping, and RV parks are almost always run by kindred spirits, but I have to say that the folks at echo island, where we stayed that first time were especially so.  The provided crafts for our kids, let us borrow tools, and even gave us free ice cream.

We were impressed, and decided to go to a presentation / dinner ourselves.  The sales rep was not pushy.  If any thing he was shy and quiet.  We purchased a membership that night, and have not looked back.

We love it.  My work allows me to telecommute.  In the summer, we often run off to one of the campgrounds, (several are within a few hours drive).  I bring my laptop and work in the motorhome, while the kids swim, hike, or whatever.  

Our fees have not increased.  We have never been treated rudely by the staff of any of the campgrounds.  In the winter we probably go to the hotspring three or four times.  It is great.  The kids swim in the outdoor pool, and think it is a blast to do so in the winter.  It is only a little further than crystal hot springs, but much better cared for, and far less expensive (Free)

In the spring, summer, and fall we go on average probably ten times to the other campgrounds and probably spend a total of 30-40 days a year on their facilities.  

We are there enough that a few of them are starting to remember us.  The Nice older lady that cares for Mt. Pleasant with her daughters is always very friendly, as is the little family in Kamas, and the couple who take care of Echo Island.  Likewise the couple (though we usually only see the husband since we typically arrive late and leave after swimming) at the hotspring.  

Mt. Pleasant has some fantastic hikes behind it.  If you sneak off through the trees, there is a hike back to a scout camp that is very peaceful.  

I can't imagine not having the membership.  Without it, our motorhome would maybe get used a week or two a year.... in which case, why bother paying for it.  With camperworld, we put real use on the motorhome, and have been able to create a lot of memories for the kids.

Your comments to the contrary strike me as odd.  Because our experience has been very different.  

We purchased a trailer earlier this year and have been bombarded by a sales person to attend a dinner and presentation about how wonderful this is. I have been reluctant because of a previous timeshare purchase and don't believe a thing these sale people will say to close the deal. I'm sorry that it isn't what you expected and appreciate you posting your experience. I have talked to a friend that purchased a whole membership and has nothing but good to say of their experiences with Camper World. I'm still being cautious and think I will let this "Once in a Lifetime" pass me by.

My husband and I responded to an offer we received from Camper World after we bought our trailer.  "Once in a life time opportunity! These memberships don't open up to the public very often! Hurry now!" When we went to the meeting we were told that we could bring family, friends and pets with no problems. We can even let them use our membership without us there! We were told our maintenance fee would be $295.00 per year for exclusive access to 9 campgrounds here in Utah and that fee would never go up.
