Camping World Military & Veteran Discount
A new-RV Hero discount ($300–$2,000 by type) plus 5% off retail for military, veterans, and first responders — verified in store with a physical ID.
Camping World runs a genuine, year-round military benefit — but it comes in two pieces, and neither is a promo code. Its Hero Program gives active duty service members, veterans, and first responders a fixed discount off the advertised price of a new RV, from $300 up to $2,000 depending on RV type. Separately, the same groups get 5% off select retail items at Camping World stores. You verify in person with a physical ID (DD-214, VA health ID, CAC, a veteran-designated driver’s license, USID, or first-responder ID) — Camping World does not use ID.me or GovX for this.
Here’s the money-saving truth most pages skip: on everyday gear, the 5% military discount is not your biggest lever. A Good Sam membership (~$30–$39/year) gives 10% off most retail, and Camping World’s own guidance says Good Sam savings stack on top of your military 5% — so an in-store service member who joins Good Sam gets about 15% off. For a new RV, the Hero Program is the play; for gear, it’s Good Sam + military ID in store, or Good Sam + a cashback portal online.

The 5% military discount isn’t your biggest retail lever — this is
On everyday gear, the military 5% is small. Camping World’s own RVers guide says a Good Sam membership stacks on top of it — so the honest in-store maximum for a service member is a stack, not the ID discount alone.
- Join Good Sam (~$30–$39/yr) for 10% off most retail — it pays for itself on ~$300–$400 of purchases.
- Request your Hero Discount Certificate online and bring it with a physical ID to the register.
- Stack both in store for roughly 15% off select retail — Camping World’s guide says Good Sam savings stack on top of the military 5%.
- Buying a new RV instead? Skip the percentages — negotiate the advertised price, then apply the Hero Program ($300–$2,000 off by RV type).
- Buying online? You can’t present ID, so layer Good Sam with the best cashback portal that day (Rakuten 3% baseline; some higher).
Good Sam stacking is stated on Camping World’s blog, not the terms page — confirm the exact combined rate and sale-item behavior at the register.

HOW TO REDEEM
Online at www.campingworld.com
- Request your Hero Discount CertificateGo to rv.campingworld.com/hero-program and enter your info to receive your Hero Discount Certificate by email. This first step is online; redemption itself happens in store.
- Understand the online limitsCamping World’s official Hero page describes in-store redemption with a physical ID; a stated online 5% checkout path is not confirmed. Confirm any online military discount with Camping World support before counting on it.
- Use Good Sam + a cashback portal for online gearFor online orders, the reliable levers are a Good Sam membership (10% off most retail) and a cashback portal (Rakuten 3% baseline as of July 13, 2026; some portals higher). These track campingworld.com orders and are independent of the in-store ID discount.
In store
- Bring your certificate and a physical IDBring your Hero Discount Certificate and an accepted physical ID: DD-214, VA Health ID (VHIC), Active Duty CAC, state veteran-designated driver’s license, Uniformed Services ID (USID), or First Responder ID.
- Present both at the registerShow the certificate and ID at the register at the time of purchase. Verification is per-purchase — there is no saved digital status. RV buyers: negotiate the advertised price first, then apply the Hero certificate.
- Stack a Good Sam membership on retailJoin Good Sam (~$30–$39/yr) for 10% off most retail, which Camping World’s own guide says stacks on top of the military 5% — roughly 15% off in store.
HOW IT WORKS
The Hero Program is Camping World’s military-specific RV lever. Its discount is a fixed dollar amount off the advertised price of a new RV, tiered by RV type — Class A Diesel $2,000, Class A Gas $1,500, Camper Van $1,000, Class C and Fifth Wheel $750 each, and Travel Trailer, Pop-Up, Truck Camper, and Small Trailer between $300 and $500. Because it is a dollar figure rather than a percentage, RV buyers should negotiate the advertised price first and then apply the Hero certificate on top.
For everyday retail, the 5% military discount applies to select items year-round at Camping World locations, for active duty, retirees, veterans, and Reserve/National Guard. But the bigger retail lever is a Good Sam membership: ~$30–$39/year for 10% off most retail. Camping World’s own RVers guide says Good Sam savings stack on top of the military discount, so an in-store service member who joins Good Sam lands around 15% off — beating the 5% alone and paying for the membership on roughly $300–$400 of purchases. (This stacking is stated on the brand blog, not the terms page, so confirm the exact combined rate at the register.)
Verification is per-purchase and in person: request a Hero Discount Certificate online, then present it with one accepted physical ID document at the register each time you buy. There is no ID.me, GovX, or SheerID account and no saved digital status. Coupon sites overstate this offer — "75% off" and "up to $100 off" claims are ordinary seasonal coupons, not a military benefit, and there is no verified military promo code.
For online gear orders, the reliable route is different: layer a Good Sam membership with the best cashback portal that day (Rakuten was 3% as of July 13, 2026; some portals ran up to ~6%). Cashback portals track campingworld.com orders and cannot be earned on an in-store purchase, so they are the online counterpart to the in-store ID discount.
Exclusions & fine print
- The 5% retail discount is reported not to apply to RVs, boats, service, or gift cards (aggregator-reported; not itemized on the official Hero page — verify in store).
- The Hero RV discount is off the advertised sales price of a new RV; used RVs are not stated as covered.
- The military discount "often cannot be combined with other deals or sale items" per third-party sources — clearance/sale stacking is not guaranteed.
- There is no verified military promo code; online coupon-site "% off" claims are generic, not military.
- Terms and dollar tiers can change at any time — Camping World controls them.
