Both of these memberships will pay for themselves on your first visit. Your Good Sams membership will also allow you to purchase items at any Camping World in the country. I would also obtain both a Good Sams campground directory and a Passport America directory to have if you do not have good wifi reception. There are so many wonderful campgrounds but until you have a better idea of the approximate route of travel it would be very hard to recommend some to prevent you from hopping all over the place. Hope this helps.

Just wanted to second what FLAGSTAFFMAN said about the Passport America, we Purchased one this year and it more than paid for itself on our first trip to Hernando Point Campground just south of Memphis Tn. Normal rates there are 20 USD/day, and we paid 10 USD/day.
Their are numerous National Parks, Corp of Engineer camp grounds around the US that are beautiful and convenient to many sites and attractions (within 30 or 45 minutes drive). Around Memphis, you have Elvis Presley's mansion Graceland, also casino's in Tunica Mississippi if you want to gamble, a little further south you have Natchez Trace and Vicksburg Battlefield. If you want to fish some, the Corp of Engineer Lakes in Mississippi (Arkabutla, Enid, Sardis, and Grenada) have world class crappie fishing with guide services available.
In Arkansas you have COE campgrounds around Norfork and Greers Ferry Lakes with world class Trout fishing in the Rivers below the dams on each lake with Guide services available there also.
The possibilities are endless and it is hard to pick places for someone else's trip not knowing what you and your wife like to do or what you enjoy seeing.
