Hello all - To Bruce’s point, we'd like to clarify that no parks, including Good Sam Parks, pay for their ratings whatsoever. Their ratings are solely based on the physical inspection performed by the Good Sam Review Teams.

Our Good Sam Review Teams are paid only for their time and inspection work in the field. And as Bruce has already mentioned, the Teams are paid by Coast to Coast management for the additional time and work involved for the Coast to Coast review and inspection process as well.

Sorry, but you must have been posting at the same time I was posting my response to Bruce. If ANY park, franchisor, time share operator or any other entity that can directly benefit from a rating can pay to be rated that makes the whole system suspect. No one would believe that Good Sam would give anything less than favorable ratings to anyone who paid for those ratings. Since we now know SOME parks have paid to be rated, we must assume there is a chance than ANY park we are considering paid and therefore those ratings are worthless. BAD, BAD, BAD policy.
