BWAHAHA!

Everyone should update their 2013 Good Sams Campground Directory to indicate Southern Comfort Camping Resort, Biloxi, MS, as not being members. It is listed as a Good Sams campground, but they would not give us our discount. They said they had not been Good Sams members for several years.

Hello, thank you for letting us know about Southern Comfort Camping Resort in Biloxi, MS. Currently, this park is showing up in our system as a Good Sam park and they should be honoring the 10% Good Sam discount to all Good Sam members.

I am forwarding this information to the Good Sam Consultant team for MS and they will be in contact with Southern Comfort regarding their Good Sam membership, and the terms and conditions involved when agreeing to be a Good Sam Park.

If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know.

Hello psande01,

Thank you for posting about this. All Good Sam Parks are required to give a 10% discount on the nightly rate, everyday of the year when a member presents their Good Sam membership card. However if an RVer is staying one-week, two-weeks, month or longer, a Good Sam park is not required to give the 10% discount on top of their weekly or monthly special rates. I will pass your post along to Park Services for futher investigation.

That sounds like a true statement IF they are a GS Park.
This one, although listed as one, doesn't appear to be a GS Park Member any more..for several years, according to OP's post.

Question is......IS this Park a current member?

That's KIND of strange. I've gotten a 10% discount by simply showing my library card when I was four states away from home. Hard to imagine they'd balk at the discount even if not a member unless they were running full most of the time.

You can contact Good Sam directly and give them the information and they will check it out. They did and got back to me.
I did this on one in California, they did not give a discount unless you ask for it. I was the only one who got a discount out of my group of 5 rigs cause I ask for it. His excuse was, "why should I give if you don't ask for it" Its money in my pocket.

I have never had a campground person ask me if I had a good sam, AARP, etc. discount voluntarily that I can remember. If I am too dumb to ask upon checking in, my bad.
