We joined Good Sam as of last month (February 2018) earlier in the month, and our cards came yesterday thankfully, but we also paid additionally for the Good Sam Directory, and it didn't come, so I'm unsure if it was sent out or not? We just purchase our 'new to us' motorhome, and we're looking forward to this new to us lifestyle in the years to come. We obviously have a LOT to learn, with regard to getting the best deal for the $$ spent, the many issues on being prudent while on the road or in an RV resort/park, on top of all one needs to know on the motorhome itself! We're hoping 'Good Sam' will be kind to us over these years, and have the ability to make use of it's services!

Unsure if I need to call Good Sam on whether my directory has been sent out, or wait a few more weeks...just in case?

From my experiences, the directory will take a few short months to arrive.

You should look into joining Passport America. Nowhere near as many campgrounds as in the Good Sam book BUT they are 50% off. Most of us who have joined make the <$50 investment back on the first camping trip. Many do not join thinking there is a 'catch'. Other than some blackout days and stay limits there is not.

Yes, we did just that, joined Passport America (as well as Good Sam), and found that during the 'high' season (basically winter time) the 50% doesn't allow for the saving. So, it seems to be more of a seasonal thing, but we'll try it for a few years and see if it pays to have it.

Have read there is an 'Escapee's' membership as well for savings....but so far have just joined their forum, and no membership as of yet.
There is also 'Thousand Trails' memberships, of which you'd have to use it on a more 'full-time' basis to make it pay I think.
I'm sure there are many others, some I may not have even heard of yet, but 'discounts' of any kind are most welcomed, especially since we're AAA members as well as 'seniors'...so any and all discounts are favourable. Apparently you can't daisy chain all these hoped for discounts either! :)

Actually, the Good Sam web site, link: Find a campground ain't too shabby.

Check out the free app RVParky. Great campground locator.

While I still like some things on paper.....maps even....there are online RV park search sites that are much handier.

There has been at least one discussion about that in the past week or so.

Good Sam has a site.
