1410.0. "Western Sportsmen's Association" by CSC32::R_GROVER (The CIRCUIT_MAN) Mon May 14 1990 08:38

    Didn't see a note/topic on this, so I'm writing a new one. I have also
    cross-post this in the RV notesfile. 
    
    The family took a drive yesterday up through Palmer Lake (stopped and
    let the boys fish for about an hour) and then back in through Monument
    just sightseeing... when we came across a campground in Monument. This
    campground does show up in the Good Sam catalog and has a "6/6" rating,
    but it does not show up in woodall.
    
    This campground is a "Western Sportsmen's Association(WSA)" owned
    facility that is open to the public.. but you can not fish unless you
    are a member of WSA..
    
    My question is, does anyone know anything about the WSA and this
    campground. Is it worth the membership fees ($595.00 initial fee, and
    $35.00 per month) to join such an organization. In listening to the 
    guy run his "pitch", he indicates that this WSA membership will allow a
    member family to camp/fish in any of the areas owned or leased by WSA
    for no additional fees/costs unless you want to rent a boat.
    
    This "deal" sounded pretty good at first, BUT after thinking about it,
    it seems to be a lot of $$$$ for a few months of fishing/camping.
    
    Any information would be greatly appreciated. One consolation is that 
    for listening to this guys pitch, we get one FREE weekend to "try it
    out" on Memorial Day weekend.
    

    OOPS... forgot... all this took place in Colorado... outside Colorado
    Springs.
