### 2/5 — Basic and slow

*2026-05-30, version 3.2.12*

I can look up my membership number and that’s about it. Clicking on other menu items yields such slow response it’s basically just displaying blank white pages. Why isn’t there a member login from front page?

### 2/5 — Outdated

*2026-01-21, version 3.2.12*

The park listings in the app are incredibly outdated. I have used the search feature for two recent trips and at least 50 percent of the parks listed are no longer affiliated with Good Sam. Some saying that they hadn’t been with Good Sam for years!!

### 2/5 — Reviews of RV Parks Are A Joke

*2025-06-25, version 3.2.12*

We booked a stay in Ocean City Maryland based on the review from Good Sam giving it a 9.5/10/10. What a joke! As soon as we got there I used the restroom at the office and the bathroom was disgusting. Toilet bowl was brown and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in 4 mos. Our rig is 40 ft and we have a garage with our golf cart which we told them. They put us in a site that was 40 ft long, had to park truck in the tiny bit of yard they gave us, over the fire pit. Wi-Fi is like dial up, speed limit not enforced and I mean going 35 on up inside the park. Kids 12 and under driving golf carts. I miss Trailer Life and Woodall’s where they actually did rv park inspections!

### 4/5 — Better tan the new one!

*2024-02-24*

The newer (GS TRAVEL) App is unbelievably worse! Doesn’t transfer saved personal data such as favorites & comments from this one, and buries the original goal of the club (Rating and detailing RV park info) under a bunch of rental and sales related stuff. Makes me embarrassed to be a Life Member of GS.

This App does a pretty good job of providing the key information needed to plan trips and book sites in a manner similar to the printed books and maps. I don’t plan on dumping this App as long as it still works.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2023-07-22, version 3.2.11*

I agree with another post about not being able to comment about a park in the Good Sam App.  It’s frustrating when you see a park rated high by Good Sam and then you go there and it doesn’t match the rating!!!

There has got to be a way for members who PAY to BE MEMBERS post what we actually experience and show photos to back up our claims!!!  So they can be re-evaluated properly !!!

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2023-07-19, version 3.2.11*

The app doesn’t allow access to my membership card. It does search for parks “near me” but I can’t use the app to book, or to verify membership to get my discount.

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2023-07-07, version 3.2.11*

Hard to navigate and should let you enter your membership number so you can see what you all have signed up for.  On a side note having different membership numbers for everything is horrible.

### 2/5 — Can’t log in and no membership cards

*2023-06-30, version 3.2.11*

As stated in other reviews we can’t log in as members can’t see if discounts have been applied, can’t book sites and no membership cards I find ludicrous.

### 1/5 — No place to login

*2023-06-30, version 3.2.11*

There is no place to login with current membership, only a link to purchase a membership.  Deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Search Function Gone After Update

*2023-06-21, version 3.2.11*

The app is useless since the latest update. It won’t search for campgrounds and when you choose the map option it says ‘0 results.’ I have to use the website to search for places to stay. Since it’s now a useless app taking up valuable space on my phone, it’s getting deleted.

### 1/5 — terrible app

*2023-06-06, version 3.2.11*

terrible!

### 1/5 — App

*2023-05-29, version 3.2.11*

Terrible app. No way to clear past searches. Cant access my account. No where near as good as koa. Take lessons

### 1/5 — Does not have Trip Planner

*2023-05-15, version 3.2.10*

You can plan your trip very easily on a computer but the planner is not on this useless app. Poor App build!!

### 1/5 — App doesnt work

*2023-05-11, version 3.2.10*

Location search function to find campgrounds rarely ever works. Enter the city, state, click find and nothing happens. I always end up going to the website. Deleting the app

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2023-05-02, version 3.2.10*

I found more detailed apps that offer more free like RV Parky. Sams seems to direct people to high $$$ campgrounds with ridiculous prices. I’m not renting apartments but a small area to park. The app seems immature and needs tons of work to impress!

### 1/5 — Membership

*2023-04-28, version 3.2.10*

Include login for existing members to view benefits and perks

### 1/5 — Camper

*2023-03-14, version 3.2.10*

This app is absolutely useless just like anything associated with Camping World

### 1/5 — No way to log in!

*2023-03-02, version 3.2.10*

We already have a GoodSam membership, but there is no way to sign in with this app.

### 1/5 — What app?

*2022-09-23, version 3.2.9*

If you are looking for a good Sam logo or a blank map this is the app for you. According to this app there are no campgrounds located in the United States.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-08-14, version 3.2.12*

This app is very confusing and definitely not user friendly. I was exploring its potential and was able to attempt to plan a trip after viewing the map I was not able to find it again. I would go to the gs app and open trips and all it would give me was Rv rentals.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-16, version 3.2.12*

App does not work!!! App improvements are not needed, not wanted, total useless! 😖👎

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2025-06-05, version 3.2.12*

This app is nearly impossible to use while traveling.   Even at home login and tracking routes is terrible.

### 1/5 — Trip planner

*2024-08-19, version 3.2.12*

This app is junk.whoever put it together should be ashamed to call it a good app. As a camper who travels the trip planner was a great help.Actually thought it should have been setup to let the planner look at different miles per day. Hope Good Sam can get it fixed soon.

### 1/5 — App

*2024-07-30, version 3.2.12*

I uninstalled and reinstalled GS app. Don’t see trip planner tab. Also when I tap My Trip tab I expect to see an RV reservation I just booked on the app. 
Maybe I am not going to the correct place in the app. 
There is plenty of information if you want pay money for various fees like Tire Protection or Roadside. Just not finding what I am looking for.

### 1/5 — Hard to use app

*2024-06-09, version 3.2.12*

When I open the app it takes through a very long process to get signed in. And when you get to a campground and they want to see your good Sam account number it is so small on the screen you need a magnifying glass to read the numbers. You should increase the font size of the account number.

### 1/5 — Good Sam

*2024-04-15, version 3.2.12*

This app is no help at all

### 1/5 — The updated GS app is horrible compared to the original!!!

*2024-03-26, version 3.2.12*

I updated to the new app, sorry I did that! I have been a GS member since 1987. The original version of the app was light years ahead of this current version. I can longer search easily by using a city or town or by using a specific RV Park name. I get frustrated trying find GS campgrounds that I have been staying at for years that won’t show up in searches. I can’t get to the information on campground layouts, site and hookup information, websites, photos, rules etc. Please go back to the original version or at least supply some new instructions for navigating the “New and Improved “ upgrade! I have to go to google now to find all the information I used to be able to get at one location, the old Good Sam original version!!! HELP or I see you losing your customers.

### 1/5 — This app is terrible.

*2023-08-01, version 3.2.11*

You can’t log in. There are supposed to be perks for certain gas stations this app ain’t for that. And why is there so many good Sam apps. This is very disappointing

### 1/5 — Worst possible app

*2023-07-28, version 3.2.11*

This app is beyond useless.  The menu choices are not consistently available and it seems to forget you signed in

It is almost impossible to find the sign area

There is no way to check membership info

Most of the time it won’t even let me enter a search city

I really regret doing the membership because it is all so unusable and even on the website when you hit something it is not associated to your account unless you call them and get the number and then manually associate it

I can’t think of an app or website that I’ve ever seen that is worse than this one

### 5/5 — Best camping app

*2023-08-17, version 3.2.11*

We love this app. Love the camp ratings and campgrounds we’ve used. We never travel in our RV without it.

### 5/5 — Good Sam

*2022-09-05, version 3.2.9*

I think a application for scanning prices should be added to the app.. as an employee of camping world it’s very important we give the customers the best cost possible.. not that I don’t promote putting the phone down or tablet and enjoying a family camping trip and disconnect from the webs… lately with all this high tech Stuff we sell for our camping world followers I see a huge need for a marketing team to come up with a way to let customers also scan products in our stores to help there experience be streamlined!!

### 5/5 — Huge Improvements

*2022-06-21, version 3.2.9*

This is SO much easier to use than it used to be! Finding RV parks is easy, and the directions and map locations are more accurate than using the park’s address in Google maps. Thanks for updating! 👍

### 5/5 — One of the best!

*2021-12-27, version 3.2.9*

I use all of the RV Park apps on a regular basis and find this to be the easiest as it generally parallels their big printed directory. Their reviews and rating system is usually pretty accurate keeping in mind that their reviewers cannot visit every park every year. Other Apps let visitors post their own rating. I find those to be worthless as they follow no actual standard and are usually only written by disgruntled vs happy people!
I also like that you can save your favorites and contact them or their web sites right in the app. Plus, their description of the number, size, and type of sites available is very useful.
As others have said, adding ones membership info and direct access to the other Good Sam benefits (Road service, etc) would be very helpful.

### 5/5 — My travel assistant

*2021-07-03, version 3.2.9*

After 8 years on the road as a full time Rv’er, it’s still my go to camping app. No better way to quickly find the next Good Sam park for that 10% off.

### 5/5 — D&D&W

*2020-11-23*

We live by the app. We have found it to be a great tool. Although there was an issue with my most recent IOS version, it made a recovery quickly & is fine now.  I highly recommend it we have used it all over the country

### 5/5 — Quit working!

*2019-10-20*

Used to be a great app. Used it many times saved favorite places to camp but then all of sudden quit working tried to reload app, hard re-boot and soft re-boot to no avail. Lost all the favorites I had. When I open and push search now it just kicks me out of app over and over ago.

Got it fixed with the last update working great again!

**Developer response:** Fantastic, thank you for the updated review!

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2019-10-16*

I really like using this app while we are on the road in our big rig. The ratings are helpful and it helps us avoid the hassle of pulling into a park that can't accommodate us. I also use the map view often to find parks that are on our route. 

I haven't found anything better.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-10-08, version 3.2.7*

Love being able to find parks when we are traveling, and really like the links to easily call or go to a parks website. Seems to get better all the time!

### 5/5 — App closes

*2019-09-25, version 3.2.4*

Downloaded app and it keeps closing when I try to find a park
