FREE WOODALLS--AAA

Went to AAA for some maps and was offered Woodall's camping directories. They were regional for all areas of the country and Canada. Comes with the road service (Gold Card)
Never realized they had them for free.
  • I have premium AAA and they helped me with a flat on my TT. This was a few years ago.
  • After 75 years the Woodalls independent directory is no more. Sadly, but in keeping with the times. With the merger of Good Sam, Woodalls, & Camping World into one entity, it was obvious that Trailer Life & Woodalls were duplicate, competing directories within the same company.
    The Good Sam Family group sold the Woodalls guides to AAA to replace their regional camp guides . The listings in AAA now mirror Trailer Life account rep. team visitations in the Woodalls 5/5 format, or copy the public camps exposure as has always been the case.
    To us, AAA camp guides of the past were nearly worthless. From our with experience withAAA, there was no inspection, just a pay for lsting or haphazard note of public offerings.
    The 7 regional Woodalls camp guides are an improvement on the previous AAA camp guides , as they do rely on visitation data.
    That data is morphed from the annual Trailer Life account representive teams into the Woodalls rating format, to suit the AAA regional guidelines
    In this way, Woodalls is still there as a trusted independent travel guide, AAA gains from actual quality 3rd party inspection.
    You gain in accessibility to those guides within the limits of your membership.

    but you probably didn't cheap out and get a lesser program with fewer benefits.
