Direct peers

• Kampgrounds of America (KOA): KOA is the largest North American franchise network of private campgrounds with a membership/loyalty program (KOA Rewards). It directly competes with Good Sam's 2,000+ campground directory, campground rating system, and member discount model, serving the same RV and camping customer base.
• Thousand Trails: Thousand Trails operates a membership-based network of RV resorts and campgrounds across North America with tiered annual memberships. It directly competes with Good Sam's membership pricing tiers and campground access benefits for RV owners.

Broad incumbents

• AAA (American Automobile Association): AAA is a membership organization offering roadside assistance, insurance, travel planning, and discounts — overlapping materially with Good Sam's roadside assistance, insurance, and travel benefits. AAA serves a broader automotive base rather than specializing in RV.
• Camping World Holdings: Camping World Holdings is Good Sam's parent company and the largest retailer of RVs and RV-related services in North America. It is comparable as the broader RV ecosystem incumbent within which Good Sam operates, sharing customers, retail footprint, and product overlap.

Emerging players

• Harvest Hosts: Harvest Hosts is a membership-based platform offering RVers unique overnight stays at wineries, farms, and attractions — directly overlapping Good Sam's 'Overnight Stays' Elite benefit. It targets the same experiential RV traveler segment with a more curated, digital-first model.
• Outdoorsy: Outdoorsy operates an RV rental marketplace connecting RV owners with renters, directly comparable to Good Sam RV Rentals. It serves the same RV travel consumer with a digital-first, peer-to-peer marketplace model.
• RVshare: RVshare is a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace comparable to Good Sam RV Rentals. It targets RV owners monetizing idle inventory and renters seeking alternatives to traditional rental, overlapping with Good Sam's rental and marketplace offering.

Regional players

• Equity LifeStyle Properties: Equity LifeStyle Properties owns and operates a portfolio of RV resorts and manufactured home communities across the U.S. It is comparable as a large-scale campground/RV park owner that competes with Good Sam's campground network for member stays and partnerships.
• Sun Communities: Sun Communities operates RV resorts, marinas, and manufactured housing communities across the U.S., overlapping with Good Sam's campground network and snowbird traveler segment. It is a meaningful regional campground owner rather than a national membership platform.

Others

• Recreation.gov: Recreation.gov is the U.S. government's centralized reservation platform for federal campgrounds and outdoor recreation. It is comparable as a campground booking and discovery platform serving RV travelers, though as a public entity rather than a private membership competitor.
