FMCA....Tell them I sent you!
Escapees are good, their campgrounds tend to be basic with lots of fulltimers. They have a first-in/first-out rule. So you can always get a site. But I'm not sure if they can accept 45' coaches. They do have discount agreements with a lot of campgrounds.
FMCA or Goodsam are good for 10% off at a lot of campgrounds that don't take other discounts.
We have a Thousand Trails zone pass (southwest & northwest zones) which also gives us discounts at any Encore Resort.
Definately get Passport America.
Harvest Hosts is kinda neat. We spent last night at a goat ranch. It was quiet and in the country with great hosts. You pay harvesthosts.com $40/year and stay overnight free at farms, wineries, ranches, etc.
The ones we belong to are the same that have been mentioned....FMCA, Passport America, Escapees (SKP), Good Sam, Harvest Hosts. We utilize Passport America the most....50% off their normal rate......I usually earn back my annual membership fee on my first, or second stop. We'll save $175 in the Keys using Passport America....enough to pay my renewal fees for several years into the future. We use www.rvparkreviews.com extensively to be sure we don't end up in a "loser" park.....has been pretty effective.

So, where are you headed after Spearfish?
