21 free nights of camping

[Studiovette]

When I purchased my TT I received a promo package from camping world for 21 free nights of camping but I was very suspicious about it. It's through travel resorts of America and they require a 2 hr tour of one of their cg before they issue the 21 free days of camping. Also the 21 days must be used within 12 months. I'm assuming it's sort of like a timeshare presentation but they are basically selling a membership to the cg.
Has anybody gone to one of these cg? I'm thinking of doing the Gettysburg one in August but have no plan on purchasing nada! They also mentioned that they will throw in 1-2 nights free so that we don't have to drive back and forth the same day since it's a 4 hour trip each way. I only want to do it if it's a nice cg and don't feel like being harassed after a 4 hr Drive.

I can't speak to the campground itself but I can say that most of the free "Giveaways" you get at these types of presentations are so filled with restrictions and hidden requirements they are virtually useless...

Yep Studiovette, It's similar to a timeshare sales pitch. But, for the couple of hours of inconvenience, you'll get a few nights of free camping. Our freebie was also from Camping World through Ocean Canyon Properties. We didn't buy into the offer and as a result can only use the remainder of the free camping Monday thru Thursday.

We had the same thing "given" to us. I called and setup the initial tour for the campground in Georgia at Lake Oconee. That is the only way to get the the 21 days free voucher. When we got to the tour the guy took us out to start showing us the campground and doing his sales pitch. He looked at me and my wife and said you guys must be here for the free camping and we said yup and that we were not interested in anything he had to say. He drove us around the campground for 10 minutes asking us how we liked our new camper and such. Took us back to the office and gave us our free camping. We were there an hour tops and most of that time was waiting for the tour. I think we lucked out on who we got. But you have to do the initial tour to get the vouchers.

We got three weeks of camping. Three vouchers that has to be used at one of their sites. Each voucher is good for up to 7 consecutive days. Only one voucher was good for the prime months (june, july, august). We have already used one voucher at the Gettysburg location and really enjoyed it.

It was worth it in my opinion.

It can be great if you like the campground(s) available & can work with the restrictions - some treat you like a stepchild but it's " free " - we do this when we can & some are much better than others

I tossed that offer in the trash when I got home, none of the campgrounds interested me.
