Coast to Coast
Best Parks has long had a strong marketing alliance with Coast to Coast, the leading reciprocal network comprised of hundreds of membership RV resorts across the US. The win-win program is simple: Best Parks in America affiliates that choose to participate, place 2 or more sites into the Coast to Coast reservation system and offers to host Coast members at a 25% discount off the regular rack rate.

In return, Coast to Coast markets Best Parks in America parks directly to its 100,000+ member RVers. This marketing takes place in a special section in the C-C resort directory, through ads and editorial content in their quarterly magazine and through their website.

Here's the win-win: Coast gets to provide a new valuable benefit to their members and BPA gets direct access to Coast's 100,000+ members who travel the country and need to find places to stay in areas where there are no membership resorts or where the C-C resorts are full.
