I really wish GS would include a percentage of how many sites are permanent at any given campground. Some campgrounds have so many permanent sites (especially on waterfront locations) that it should be called a trailer park. I know that I would avoid parks with too many 'seasonal' spots just because I find the atmosphere to be rather 'cool' to outsiders.

Good Sam does NOT own the RV parks/campgrounds......they just have an affiliation with them.They 'rate' them----RV parks have to meet a minimum standard of services and appearance to be considered for associationThey do NOT know how many sites are used for long term and it would NOT be any of GS business. That is up to the OWNER/OPERATOR of the RV park.

Start reading and posting on RV Park Reviews. It won't solve your problem but, it may help.

Thanks - It's a good-honest look at the campgrounds!

Actually they do (for example)Under the listing for Leisure Lake ResortJoliet, IL 60404They list total sites 265Available sites 175Been that way for years this is data I always look at

In addition using the CG's own web site or Facebook page to look at the pictures they post along with using Google Maps sattelite view can tell you allot!

You can also call the campground. State and federal campgrounds usually don't have seasonals just transits.

Where does the above say the number of PERMANENT sites? The info you posted simply says 90 sites are occupied.. nothing about if they are permanently occupied or what.

So, no, they apparently do not.

As others have posted, GS does not own the sites, and don't control how a given campground manages their sites.

If they have 265 sites and only rent 175 what is the explanation for what they do with the other 90 sites
