Problem with Good Sam rating system?
Problem: Three times this past year we've encountered affiliated Good Sam campgrounds with high ratings that will not accept our Aliner (a hard-side popup). There is no mention of this restriction in ...

Not sure why a park would prohibit an A-liner type trailer specifically. Safety could be an issue with a soft sided rig in significant bear country, but that is not an issue with an A-liner. What I don't know is if the exclusion is because there can be a situation where all non self contained rigs are prohibited. Is the A-liner self contained? The reason for that exclusion is regulatory. In Montana, I would not have to build and maintain a restroom and shower facility if we restricted the park to self contained only and provided onsite dumping ability. This would allow a park to be built for much less money. Also, Montana law requires all non full hookup sites to be no more than 300 feet from the a restroom facility, so maybe that could be an issue. I don't know if that law is ever vigorously enforced, but it is on the books.
I agree it should be noted in the Good Sam guidebook, since it is a major restriction.
