Hi, I am new to RVing and we are gwtting ready to go on a trip soon. I'm wondering how I apply my membership to booking? Is there a unique code for each campground? Do I have to call for reservations to let them know I have a memvership? Any advice is appreciated.
There isn't a unique code for each campground, when you join, you'll receive a membership # that will be in the Good Sam system that each campground can see. If you download the Good Sam App on your smart phone and log in, you'll see all of your information and membership #.
The GS discount is only good at parks that are under the GS system. The parks you are looking at somewhere on their site will state that they offer the GS discount. I have also found that with alot of the online booking sites there is not a place to claim the GS discount even if the park honors the discount. I have ended up calling the park direct to claim the discount. With that said not all parks give the GS discount of 10%. When in doubt about discounts always call the park and ask about discounts maybe not GS but they offer discounts for other reasons.
Enjoy the RV way of life
I think the only affiliated CGs anymore are KOA. And to break even you have to spend about $300 to get enough discounts to offset your GS subscription. Either way, you're paying Camping world who owns GS to spend more money at another company owned by Camping world. Pay me a fee so you can shop at another store I own or stay at a CG I own and pay me again. Not that there was much upside to begin with but there isn't really any advantage to joining these memberships aside from contributing to the Wal Mart of the camping industry. There's no fuel discounts anymore. Maybe you get a cool sticker. Maybe Op figured all this out and is hiding in embarrassment since they never bothered to return.
Since you are new to RVing, know that Goodsam is just a funny way to spell Ripoff.
