I just became a Good Sam member. Is there a website that has all the listings for Good Sam US RV Parks? The good Sam website does not contain this info?
Not sure about websites, but the Trailer Life campground directory, and probably Woodalls' as well, show which parks are Good Sam. A good number of private CGs are, and most of them offer a discount (usually 10%) to GS members who show their cards. You may have to ask for the discount, though.
you will have needed to have a sign on name and password. click on the "Find a campground"... type in a state and you will get a listing of CG in that state.
If I were you I would seriously think about joining Passport America too. You get a 50% discount and some GS CG as also PPA CG. We stayed at one a week ago, it meant that we were getting half price but the GS members were only getting 10% off. PPA pays for itself if you use it once or twice for a couple days ($44/yr).
The PPA CG do seem to be older CG and away from the Interstates. It depends on what you expect from a CG on whether you would like them. But we have twice stayed at CG which were both. I had a GS membership but never actually used it so I'm not sure what their CG are like.

Our experince had been, almost literally from coast to coast, that Passport America campgrounds have not been inferior to others. Yeah, there might be an exception or two, but most we have stayed in have been top-notch. However, many PA campgrounds have restrctions as to length of stay, time of year, etc. But, hey, if it works with your schedule, it costs you half as much... a lot better than a measely 10 percent off. Big whoop: If the CG is $30 a night you save $3 as opposed to $15. Yep, we're believers in PA, although we have Good Sam, too.

Oh I didn't mean to say that we did not like them. We found them to be perfectly suited to our expectations. Indeed we are adding the Suwannee Valley CG to our list of CG to visit a couple times a year. Right on the Suwannee, a swimming pool, pleasant people running the place. Very fine, our 10 year old spent two days in the pool except when he came out for a canoe trip.
I have seen some comments on the RV review site from some folks who seem to expect a much fancier setup. I cannot image what they expect for their $15-20
