How do I rate campgrounds?

I'm in Graceland rv park in Memphis Tennessee right now and I'm going to be leaving earlier than planed.

If the park is bad I only stay one night, if it's really bad I drive away and don't stay at all. If everyone did that the bad parks would eat her get better or fold up. If the bad ones are always full maybe other people use different criteria to rate a park then I do.

Ok, great to know, thanks for clarifying.

No, their ratings are compiled by reviewers who are employed by Good Sam. The rating criteria is very steeply slanted to objective items, meaning they give points for having certain things, not how good those things are. For example, a pool gets you a point. It can be a pool not much bigger than a small child's wading pool or it could be an Olympic sized water park, same score. No pool, your first score of the three will be one point lower than an identical park with a pool. The scoring worksheet is in the Good Sam guidebook and also can be found online. Like any review system it has it's strengths and weaknesses. Since it is objective, personal preferences of the reviewers don't effect the scores very much. On the other hand a park with a crappy swingset, a tiny pool, in a sketchy neighborhood and a utilities that barely function might have a much higher score than a pristine park with brand new utilities in a resort setting that chose not to have a swingset and pool. There is no system that would work for everyone.

Which site are you referring to? RV Parks review allows you to post reviews after you have registred. There used to be a short delay before your first review is published.

To get ideas on what to post, take a look at previous reviews and decide what information is most important to you to share. Some people get "off in the weeds" posting reviews.
