  Recreational vehicle clubs are made up of people who have similar interests in RV camping. Club membership makes camping in an RV a more enjoyable, and sometimes safer, experience, because you are camping with a group of people. Usually RV clubs save members money because the club is endorsed by several different campgrounds and RV parks throughout the country. Members receive perks and benefits. Most RV clubs have an annual membership and provide identification to place on your RV and regular vehicle that identify you as a member.
