You are stuck with it and the dues until your contract is up or until you die. And they will ruin your credit score with there own in house collection agency. They are despicable and I would advise anyone not to buy into it. Just try to cancel your thousand trails membership and you will see what kind of a company they are.

I've always wondered how those memberships worked and if the parks lived up to their luxurious claims. A little too pricey for me, even used since I cold never use it enough. Thanks again.

Like Nick said, it is only a good deal if you use it. Never buy a membership directly from TTN-also find a used one, to get a better deal.When you look at it, even if you only use it 50 nights a year, you are only paying $10 a night. Some of the parks are in really bad shape and others are wonderful. The one in Batesville, Indiana called Indian Lakes was in terrible shape last year.

We fell for a free 3-night stay at Western Horizons and got the hard, hard sell! Walked out and would never go back to one even if it was free. We know all about those high pressure sales tactics!
