Q. What do the ratings mean?
A. The exclusive Trailer Life Directory Triple Ratings system evaluates a park based on three main criteria; Completeness of the Facilities, Cleanliness and Physical Characteristics of Restrooms and Showers, and Visual Appeal and Environmental Quality. All three ratings are on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best. Less than 1 percent of parks or campgrounds receive a rating of 10. Our readers tell us that cleanliness ranks high in importance to them. Therefore, when a park receives full points in the cleanliness of restroom sinks, toilets, showers, walls, floors and mirrors, a star will appear next to their restroom rating.

Q. I'm not getting any results when I search
A. Here are some Search Tips for you to follow.
Choose fewer options for a broad search, or more options for a more specific search.
If you type Civil War in the Area Attractions field and choose South Carolina for the state, you'll get all Civil War attractions in South Carolina. When searching by Facility Name, use as few words as possible, especially if you're not sure of the exact name of the facility.
Example: searching for "RV" may return more records than searching for "RV Park".You will get results based on whatever criteria you choose.
If you don't get any results, try selecting fewer options.
For example: if you choose South Carolina for the State, and you check Show ONLY Private Facilities you'll get a listing of all Private Facilities in South Carolina.
Search Results are displayed in alphabetical order by state and city: Good Sam Advertisers (Parks, Services, Good Sam Honored Facilities) Good Sam Parks, Services, Good Sam Honored Facilities
