WBCCI doesn't offer much in the way of discounts. And the club doesn't exactly cater to working people, though some small efforts are being made to change that. I joined while still working, but it was over two
years before I could even attend a
Unit rally that coincided with when I could get time off from work, let alone any of their bigger events. If you join, do it for the people you'll meet in the club, not for what the club offers.
Good Sam Club gives you 10% off at member campgrounds, plus discounts at Camping World. Some insurance companies in some states offer a Good Sam discount on their rates, so ask your insurance agent.
The National Park Service Senior Pass (over 62) or Access Pass (handicapped) get you half-price camping at National Parks and Corps of Engineers campgrounds. Even without the discount passes, Corps of Engineers campgrounds (located in 44 of the 50 states) tend to be the best value for the money when it comes to choosing a campground. Every single CoE campground is located along a lake or river and I have yet to see one that isn't well-maintained.
Passport America gives you half-price camping at member campgrounds, but it's not as good a deal as it sounds because there are numerous restrictions and blackout dates, so you might only get a discount for one night of your stay, and no discount at all at certain times of the year in certain places. And the quality of member campgrounds varies widely from absolute dumps to high-end RV resorts.
If you're active or retired military or Department of Defense Civil Service there are 244 military "family camps" at various military installations around the country, that you can't even stay at otherwise.
Elks Club offers camping at many of their lodges for their members only, not accessible to the general public.
Family Motor Coach Association only accepts motorhomes, but does accept Airstream motorhomes. And they offer a discount on Michelin tires among their other benefits, which is why I joined this one. Since you don't have a motorhome, I only list FMCA for the benefit of other readers.
Kampgrounds of America offers discounts on member campgrounds, including free nights when you rack up enough nights camping with them. They're not the cheapest campgrounds around, but they tend to be reasonably well maintained, and most are located near major highways, making them good for waypoint stops on your way to someplace more interesting. They also tend to be overrun with kids and pets because they make a point of being family-friendly. Fair warning has been given.
