I appreciate your feed back on why just one volume. However, my new 2014 volume is just too big. You need to split that book into 2 volumes. Make it East of the Mississippi and West of the Mississipi.

Hello Travelyn,
I work for Good Sam. Thank you for your feedback, I'd like to provide information on why there is just one directory.
Last year our two brands, Woodall's and Trailer Life Directory, merged and for 2013 we published just one volume - the Good Sam RV Travel Guide & Campground Directory.
Over the years members had asked us why there were two directories – two made it difficult to choose which one to buy and so much of the listing information was duplicated in both. It made a lot of sense that when the two brands merged we also combined the two directories and their data into one.
The new Good Sam RV Travel Guide combines all that great listing and RVing information together into one complete travel guide, plus all campgrounds are now rated using the trusted Good Sam Rating System. No more deciding which one to buy.
Throughout 2013, members provided valuable feedback that let us know the Directory was getting too big. They asked that we condense the information included to make the size of the directory easier to use. For 2014 we provide basic information for both private and public parks. You’ll find we include the Good Sam Ratings for privately owned parks. And because we know how important the Good Sam camping discount is, we have included information on our Good Sam Parks, as well as other featured campgrounds.
For smartphones users you'll find the same up-to-date data on the Good Sam Camping App (this supersedes the Woodall's and Trailer Life Directory apps) and online through our website's campground search at GoodSamClub.com and GoodSamCamping.com. Good Sam Members can also access the new Trip Planner tool on GoodSamClub.com.
We appreciate and take very seriously, the feedback we get back from our members. It helps us to continually look for ways to improve our products and services to you.
Kind regards,
Ellen Tyson
