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 ...
Forum Discussion
the A-Liner is a pretty small segment of the rv population, isn't it?
so it may take some time for parks to start recognizing it as 'different'...
Realistically, how many A-liners do we see in parks now days (and we had one before so would notice them)

I also don't think the age thing is about income level at ALL,
I think it's because they do not want an old, decrepit, unkempt camper there...
Just like I don't want to be parked next to one because I've worked hard keeping mine up!
typically, not always, but typically, the run down camper is an indication of the individuals staying in it...
Maybe not in all cases, but if you are honest and without an agenda, you will see that too...
Is that 'profiling'? yes, and there is nothing wrong with that, it's done every day and should be,,,
In a more positive definition for it, it's more like trend analysis !

But, I too, have a problem with the good sam rating system in that the last three parks we stayed at were all rated very high and shouldn't be in our humble opinions (three motorhome couples)
We are starting to wonder if the rating system is just a 'bought' rating...pay more and get a better rating ?????
Good Sam - any response ?
