            LAS VEGAS, Nev., Nov. 30, 2012 – Forty-two campgrounds, RV parks and resorts earned all around “A” grades in the fifth annual consumer satisfaction survey of campgrounds, RV parks and resorts.

            The top parks were announced Friday during the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds’ annual Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo, which took place at the Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

            More than 30,000 camping and RV enthusiasts participated in the online survey, which evaluated guest experiences at campgrounds, RV parks and resorts all across the United States.

            “Consistently earning an overall ‘A’ grade from guests is difficult, and our 42 winners this year represent less than 2% of all of the nation’s campgrounds. But what is even more impressive is that 9 of this year’s winners have also received this award for five years in a row,” said Bob MacKinnon, President and CEO of GuestRated.com, the California.-based company that conducts the online survey.

            “Consumers should take the time to check out the ratings and comments that are posted for each campground on GuestRated.com or Camping.com because it is the quickest way to tell which parks are best meeting – and exceeding – guest expectations. And, with more than 100,000 reviews, we now have one of the most accurate databases of consumer feedback in the camping industry,” said MacKinnon.

            The 42 parks earning “A” grades for 2012 are listed below. They include:

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 15, 2008 – Twenty one campgrounds and RV resorts have earned all around “A” grades in the nation’s first consumer satisfaction survey of independent parks.

The top rated parks were announced at the Nashville Convention Center on Saturday during an awards ceremony hosted by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.

Nearly 13,000 camping and RV enthusiasts participated in the 2008 online satisfaction survey, which evaluated guest experiences at independent campgrounds and RV resorts affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.

“Camping and RV enthusiasts didn’t hold back when it came to telling us which parks they liked and which ones needed improvements,” said Bob MacKinnon, president and CEO of GuestRated.com, the Murrieta, Calif.-based company that conducted the online survey.

MacKinnon added that GuestRated.com provides guest satisfaction surveys for more than 4,000 parks affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, or roughly half of the nation’s private parks.

“The results of these online surveys will go a long way toward helping consumers identify the nation’s finest campgrounds and RV resorts,” MacKinnon said, adding, “The surveys are also helping park owners identify and prioritize their improvements, based on their guests’ perceptions.”
