Lifetime Membership Extended – 50 More Only!
Last week we announced we would soon be ending our Lifetime Membership offer and made 100 Premium Club Memberships available. They filled quickly and we have since had numerous requests for more. As a result we have decided to extend the offer one more week and opened up 50 more Lifetime Memberships.
A Lifetime Membership means a once off payment to the Free Rang Camping Premium Members Club with no more to pay EVER. You will not be charged for any improvements or additions we make to the Club or the App now and in the future.
With a host of new features on the way, this is one way to ensure you will never have to pay again.
