how do you find a decent site to stay in?
Richard And Babs Ames:
We have also had good and poor reviews posted without changes. We do describe problems in detail.
LEAH DRAPER:
My first "go-to-directory" is Good Sam Directory. I think it is a better reference and more accurate than any other. I also consult the Big Rigs Best Bets. However they are limited in number sites they have inspected.
Keith Oliver:
Leah:
thanks for the suggestions.
As a quick test, I went to both sites, to look at their ratings for the scuzziest site I have seen to date, as described above.
Good Sam gives it a 9.5/9/6.5, which looks to me like a pretty good rating. Big rigs, would have me pay $25 for their book or website access before I could check their accuracy.
I expect more form Good Sam, and they probably do a better job on a lot of sites, but that, being a sample of one, tells me that GS can't be relied upon for an accurate idea of what to expect at a site.
Peter and Connie Bradish:
We find that Good Sam Directory tends to over rate CGs. We do buy it to use along with RV park reviews website, Passport America Guide, Elks Lodge guides, Days End Guide, etc.
We have not had any trouble putting in both positive or negative reviews with RV park reviews. What we like about this site is that sometimes we find a CG that is not listed any where else.
No one site or book has it all. So we use a combination of sources when looking for CGs.
JimCasazze:
Connie makes a very good point. There doesn't seem to be any single source that lists all CG's. We also use several sources, including RVParkreview, Passport, Woodall's, as well as state and federal park guides/websites.
I'm confident that even with all of these sources, there are still many CG's that are overlooked.
One thing I like about RVparkrevies is that it is collection of acutal camper based reviews and that as such should have no real agenda other than presenting actual experiences. My thinking is that other sources that accept paid advertising may have a conflict of interest posting negative information about a paid advertiser.
