As a member I understand that the Good Sam site shows avaliable campgrounds but they shouldn't be rated by Good Sam unless they are a Good Sam affiliated campground.
I am also a KOA member and KOA does not rate campgrounds that are not affiliated with KOA.

Agreed. Zero endorsement, including rating.

We travel with the GS directory. Often there's not a GS park where we are or where we're heading. Very convenient to be able to find parks that have just paid for a rating and an ad. Have been in areas where the parks do not have and ad and find them difficult to find and when you do find them don't know what amenities are available. I know I can use the internet; however, I like the book. Most importantly, my copilot likes the book.

Good Sam does not charge to rate a park and does not require an Ad be purchased to have a park rated and be listed in the guidebook. That free listing will always include basic information about that park. If you actually look at the book you will see the vast majority of the listed parks are not Good Sam Parks and have not purchased an ad.
