How do I report the worst campground ever

geeze.
My 'opinion' is that the website should accept one review. Like each and every other internet website that accepts reviews.

I found that after filling out my review to find out that it would not be posted until I reviewed a certain number of additional reviews a useless and unnecessary requirement.

Yes I full time. Yes I stay at 'many' CG's in my travels.
Filling out CG reviews is not on my list as a daily function.:B

To the OP regarding your CG experience.
Since you are posting it here on the GS Club forum and the CG was a Good Sam CG. Post the name and why you feel it does not meet the ratings Good Sam gave it. Hopefully the Marcus team will revisit this CG and rate it appropriately!

You obviously have never looked at the reviews on that site if you believe that "the bad comments are never seen." I just looked at their home page and scanned the list of "Most Recent Reviews" there. Among those with low scores I find statements like:.....

And apparently YOU did not read my post. :R

I did NOT say that all bad comments are not listed...

Sorry. I guess I was confused by your statement that "the bad comments are never seen."

Hi Rockhill,

I don't understand why you view posting 2 or 3 reviews as onerous. Even a confirmed boondocker such as myself was able to meet that "first time only" requirement.

I did NOT say that all bad comments are not listed. I have read and used the site for CG info. I don't think a camper has to be required to be a multiple reporter of CG's to post ONE review good or bad. THAT is what I said.

Since you admit that you don't contribute to the site I guess it's not surprising that you don't read what's there.

I'm so glad that you know what I do or don't do. :R

Why not report the bad park to GS so they can inspect it again? I've found the rating system to be pretty reliable. I'm pretty certain GS wants them to be as accurate as possible.

Also, if you tell us what park, there may be others on here who can support your opinion or who have a different experience with the same park. I, for one, would appreciate knowing the park since we rely heavily on the GS ratings.

That is what I am trying to do, this is why I posted in the Good Sam Club topic area

Hello RVers,

Good Sam strives to be the best in our industry and we appreciate the feedback we receive. If you feel a particular park’s rating doesn’t reflect what our guidelines described, please let us know. Email parks@goodsamfamily.com with the park name, location, and area of concern and we will pass that information on to our Good Sam Consultant Team for further investigation.

We rate each privately owned park in the directory using the following categories:

1. Campground & RV Parks - Completeness of facilities: The first campground rating evaluates completeness and quality of facilities. In this category we rate interior roads, sites, registration area, hookups, recreation, swimming, security, laundry, store and building maintenance.

2. Restrooms & Showers - Cleanliness and physical characteristics of restrooms and showers: The second rating category concerns the cleanliness and physical characteristics of toilets, walls, showers, sinks/counters/mirrors and floor. If a park achieves a full point in each of the above, it receives a star (*), indicating exceptionally clean restrooms.

Also rated are physical characteristics of restrooms, including interior construction, adequate supplies/odor free, adequate number of facilities, exterior appearance and location in relation to park spaces, and interior appearance.

3. Visual Appearance/Enviromental Quality - Visual Appeal and Environmental Quality: This category addresses the park's setting and site layout, function and identification of signage, overall exterior building maintenance, noise, trash disposal, litter and debris around the grounds and sites, and appearance of grounds, sites and entrance area.

Also, as other readers have suggested, you can share your comments about a particular park on this forum.

Thank you,

I think they said at one time they were thinking about integrating user comments , but maybe they changed their mind.

Unfortunately Good Sam doesn't solicit user ratings. The parks are rated by Good Sam authorized volunteers/employees.

It has been indicated here on the forums previously that they do not include user comments. Your best bet is to give your review here and on RVparkreviews.

It would be wonderful if Good Sam allowed user ratings but that apparently doesn't serve Good Sam (corporate) interests.

Pictures of what was bad would be nice as well.
