Campground Ratings -
We find the ratings from Good Sam Club to be getting more and more useless. While we understand you are trying to get a system that has no "personal preference" by your reviewers we are seeing a real...

This answer in my opinion verifies what I pointed out in my initial post - the rating system is biased. When you are restricted to deducting only one point for a noise based problem due to a park being within FEET of a four lane highway then you have taken all common sense away from your reviewers and they are not allowed to use good judgement, just the biased form they are given. Your form and system are NOT WORKING!! This last visit was just the straw that broke the back and caused me to go public. We have been seeing this for years and it has gotten much worse since the combining of Woodalls and Good Sams rating books. I know there have been meetings with selected Park Representatives by Good Sams for input on the ratings - when are you going to ask your full membership for input??? The fox is running the chicken house when you let the parks set up the rating system and leave your general membership that has to use the ratings out of the loop!
When rating parks, we try our best to balance all aspects an RVer might be looking for when choosing a park. The point system keeps all categories equal, since noise might be a big factor to some but others might not mind the noise as long as the park is centrally located. However, we often review the feedback we receive and if you would like to share an alternative rating system or think a category should be added or deleted, please share that with us. We are open to all suggestions and will incorporate those we feel will benefit our customers.
I support and echo for the most part the comments by the OP. I would point out that adding a new section to the forum is a one or two day effort that should not take months or even weeks.
As for the review section, this section is for our website and not this forum. The reviews will be posted on the park's listing page. Since it's going directly on the park's listing page, we are currently developing the way these reviews are going to be collected and displayed. It will take some time to develop and test, but we are working on creating this resource.
We appreciate our members and their feedback, so keep those suggestions coming.
Have a great day everyone!
