Search Engine Power

The Find a Campground feature puts all of the information 2,100 Good Sam Parks at your fingertips, placing these parks in preferred order when you comb through our database of more than 14,000 RV parks. Not only do Good Sam Parks meet high standards of quality based on our three-numbered rating system, but they offer the 10 percent member discount to Good Sam Club members.

After logging on click on Plan a Trip and select Find a Campground. From here, you can start your search by entering the area you’re visiting. If you have a specific RV park in mind, you can fill all or part of in the Facility Name and find your match.

You can also narrow results and hone in on finding the perfect match by using our various filters. One option allows you to search campgrounds based on the Good Sam Directory Rating System, the three-number grade that assesses campgrounds by facilities, cleanliness and visual appeal. If immaculate restrooms are a must, then search parks in order of their restroom ratings, with perfect 10s showing up first. If amenities are a priority, select parks that have high ratings in this category. The same goes for visual appeal.

If you prefer, re-sort the results by distance. If you’re traveling to Disneyland and don’t mind a little driving, you can search for campgrounds within a 200 mile radius of the Magic Kingdom’s Anaheim, California, home. Conversely, you can narrow that search down to parks within a 25-mile radius of your destination.

Hone your search even more by using our search filters. Click the Pets box, and the search will show only the campgrounds in your search area that allow animals. Refine your search even further by showing only parks with perfect facilities ratings.

If you’re particular about age restrictions or simply need a park that has swimming facilities, we’ll help you weed out the parks that don’t meet your needs. With 33 filter categories to choose from, you’ll be able to customize your search to your liking.

 Introducing Map-Based Search

Coming soon, you’ll be able to look up parks through our new Map Search. Simply enter a city and state or zip code, and you’ll get a map of region you’re visiting including the locations of nearby Good Sam Parks, which are shown by pins bearing the smiling halo-topped mascot.
