We just got back from a trip where we were offered a chance to sign up for a Good Sam's membership at an early campground. We went ahead and joined and got the 10 percent discount. At our next Good Sams campground we were told that they built the discount into their general rate or we give a discount but everyone gets it. Good Sams number three gave the discount with no questions. Number four said we give the discount but only if you pay by cash or check. Seemed like a way to get out of the discount.
For those who are Good Sams members, is this typical? We don't have Camping World near by so the camping rate reduction was the prime reason for joining. Now that seems uncertain.
Hi countrykids, I'm sorry to hear you did not receive the Good Sam discount at these parks.
All Good Sam Parks should honor the 10% Good Sam discount on the nightly rate posted at the park; however, the Good Sam discount doesn’t apply to already discounted rates (such as weekly or monthly deals). There are no blackout dates and the manner of payment shouldn’t matter.
If you can provide the name of the parks that did not honor the Good Sam discount, we will contact them regarding the discount terms they agreed to honor when becoming a Good Sam affiliated park.
I would also like to let you know Good Sam guarantees the 10% Good Sam Club discount. To receive the discount, send your receipt and all the facts about your visit (date, location, price, reason for not receiving the discount) to:
Good Sam Member Services
64 Inverness Dr E
Englewood, CO 80112
We value your membership and thank you for visiting Good Sam Parks while camping in the US and Canada.
