Hi Napadiver and TNRIVERSIDE – Good Sam rates each privately owned park once a year using the same Rating Guideline for each park. This Rating Guideline form can be found in the 2014
RV Travel Guide & Campground Directory edition on pages 161-163.
The form is broken up into three areas – these areas are:
1. Campground & RV Parks - Completeness of facilities: The first campground rating evaluates completeness and quality of facilities. In this category we rate interior roads, sites, registration area, hookups, recreation, swimming, security, laundry, store and building maintenance.
2. Restrooms & Showers - Cleanliness and physical characteristics of restrooms and showers: The second rating category concerns the cleanliness and physical characteristics of toilets, walls, showers, sinks/counters/mirrors and floor. If a park achieves a full point in each of the above, it receives a star, indicating exceptionally clean restrooms.
Also rated are physical characteristics of restrooms, including interior construction, adequate supplies/odor free, adequate number of facilities, exterior appearance and location in relation to park spaces, and interior appearance.
3. Visual Appearance/Enviromental Quality - Visual Appeal and Environmental Quality: This category addresses the park's setting and site layout, function and identification of signage, overall exterior building maintenance, noise, trash disposal, litter and debris around the grounds and sites, and appearance of grounds, sites and entrance area.
If you feel a particular park’s rating doesn’t reflect what our guidelines described, please let us know by emailing us with the park name, location, and area of concern at
parks@goodsamfamily.com. We’ll pass the information on to our Good Sam Consultant Team for further investigation.
