- Does GS own who now?
- No who is owned by them.
- I know they own something, but not too sure what it is.
- Far as I know, Coast to Coast is owned by the same folks who own God Sam, Camping World, etc. You still have to be a member of a participating resort to get into the Coast to Coast network. Whether or not there's an advantage to also being a member of GS I don't know. We dropped our C2C membership several years ago because there's so much overlap with RPI.

Yep........owned by same corp.
NO...being member of one has nothing to do with other.
C2C member.......7 yrs.
GS member........1 yr. many yrs ago then dropped it- I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but I believe if you are a paid up member of C2C you are automatically a member of Good Sam.
- To reply to the questions here, Coast to Coast is owned by the same parent company that owns Good Sam and Camping World. Coast to Coast runs a reciprocal use network of membership campgrounds, so that when you join one membership campground, as a member of Coast to Coast you receive reciprocal use of other membership campgrounds in the U.S. and Canada for $10 per night. There are also other RVing and travel benefits included with Coast membership, including a Good Sam membership. However only Good Sam members who are also members of Coast to Coast can utilize the Coast to Coast resort network.
I hope that answers the questions posed here. If I can provide any further information please just post your question.
