Good Sam RV Park Ratings
Dear Good Sam,
My wife and I have always tried to stay at a Good Sam Park rated "8"or higher with a preference toward the "higher". We are currently traveling from Florida to Oregon on an 8-10 week vacation. In the past a park that is rated "9" or higher has been a great RV experience. On this trip, using your ratings,we ended up in two parks that were not even close to the ratings you gave them. As an example,we stayed in Bear Creek RV Park in Asheville,NC. While part of the park was just ok, all of the pull thru's were directly on the road on a dangerous curve. We cringed every time we heard a car coming. When I expressed my concern to the owner,he told me to leave if I was unhappy. Having no other place to go and plans for the area already set,we stayed. All of the pull thru sites were a "4-5" at best. For the life of me,I cannot understand how the park received a"9.5". It was terrible and the owner down right nasty. I think you guys need to re-evaluate your grading system. One of our favorite parks is close to home in Williston,FL. That park is a "10". Some of your 9.5 parks are not remotely close Please do a better job. I am a loyal Good Sam Member. I purchased my RV at Camping World,have an extended warranty with you ,financed with you and have a road service contract with you. I expect more if I am to trust your rating system.
Thank you,
