Basically, for $500 a year, you can visit these sites as often as you like as long as you don&#8217;t stay too long in one site. Considering how difficult it has been in the past to secure campsites for popular sites, this option was great because 9 out of 10 time when i tried to book a site last minute, i was able to get something.
