Anzahl der CG's

Hallo,

unsere CG-map ist auf 52 Seiten mit umgerechnet 1289 eingegebenen Campgrounds angewachsen. Das nenne ich eine klasse Leistung. Vielen Dank an alle.

Hi Richard,

das îst doch mal eine Information zum Greifen !

Man beachte den Tenor des Postings vor dir von 2009 !

Wieviel Eintragungen hat der Woodall´s ? ;-))))

Hallo Bernhard,

diese Steilvorlage nehme ich gerne auf.

The Woodall’s|AAA Regional Guides are made up of seven different regional guides, that together comprises over 14,500 listings for campgrounds and RV parks across North America. Woodall's representative teams personally inspect over 8,000 privately-owned parks each year. Put their expert observations to work for you by reading the Woodall 5W Rating System guidelines.

Facilities Rating Detail - Development
There are 8 main areas that are included in the point system evaluation for Woodall’s facility rating, with a maximum point value of 62. In order for a park to receive a 5 facilities rating, they must earn at least 57 development points from the 8 areas of interest (plus meet the maintenance requirement discussed below). Here are the areas of interest that are evaluated:

Entrance – Worth 1-5 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has all of the following: superior commercial quality lighted sign, superior landscaped entrance, superior paved wide easy access and superior paved wide entry roads.

Services – Worth 1-5 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has both of the following: management with posted daily office hours and separate registration building or area, and superior laundry (commercial quality Laundromat).

Restrooms – Worth 1-15 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has all of the following at all restroom facilities: full professional finish inside and out, ceramic tile floors, showers and up to 4 feet on the walls, ceramic title, Formica or Corian counters, factory built partitions. Plus, to get at least 12 points or more the park must have a ratio of 1:10 restrooms to non-sewer sites and 1:50 restrooms to sewer sites.

Dump Facility & Method – Worth 1-5 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has all of the following: 4x6 concrete pad sloped to flush inlet, self closing cap, flushing water, if drinking water is available it must be at least 30’ from dump, easy access, clear signage.

Sites – Worth 1-10 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has all of the following: 75% of the sites must be level, have easy access, have a picnic table (or patio substitute), have shade and/or plantings, have surface preparation on 100% of the sites.

Hookups – Worth 1-10 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has all of the following: 50% of individual full hookups plus 50% of water & electric hookups with a tap and electric stanchion for each 4 non-full hookup spaces, logical hookup relationship, minimum of 30 amp receptacle at all full hookups and minimum 20 amp receptacle at all electrical hookups.

Interior Roads – Worth 1-5 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if all the roads are wide and all-weather or paved.

Grounds & Lighting – Worth 1-5 points for development. A park can earn the highest point assignment if the park has all of the following: extensive grounds development, lighting at registration, restrooms, camping areas and some activity areas.

Bonus Points: A park may receive 1 bonus point for each of the following: If at least 20% of total RV sites have a separate 50 amp receptacle per site, if at least 50% of total RV sites offer instant wireless access.

Facilities Rating Detail – Maintenance
Although Woodall’s rating system weighs heavily on the amount of development that a park has, maintenance is also a factor when considering the Facilities Rating at a park. For each of the 8 areas mentioned above, Woodall’s assigns a maintenance rating of 0 to 5 - 0 being unacceptable and 5 being superior. In order for a park to keep the 5 rating that it earned through the facilities development evaluation, it must earn at least 43 points in the maintenance evaluation.

Recreation Rating Detail
Woodall’s other rating is the recreation rating. A park can earn up to a 5 for recreation, by having recreation items on site or nearby their park. Like the facilities rating, the Woodall’s recreation rating weighs heavily on the amount of recreation development that a park has. Recreation items are categorized as "major" or "minor" recreation. For example, a swimming pool would be considered a "major" recreation development, while horseshoes would be considered "minor" recreation development. In order for a park to receive a 5 in recreation they must have planned group activities, a swimming amenity (pool, lake, etc.) and 10 major recreation items (6 or more of which must be indoor recreation items).

Depending on the kind of camping experience you would like to enjoy, the Woodall’s rating system sets out to help you choose a park that meets your needs by helping you understand the amount of development that a park has and how well it is maintained. Woodall’s ratings are considered by RVers as the most reliable ratings available because of the lack of subjectivity that is permitted. For a sample evaluation form, and even more detail about the Woodall’s rating, visit your local AAA office and pick up a Woodall’s/AAA camping guide, which outlines the rating in the How To Use this Directory Section.

---> vielleicht sollten wir für unsere Bewerter eine greifbare Bewertungsmatrix erstellen. Das steht explizit nicht den FAQ´s.

Hallo Richard,

vielleicht sollten wir für unsere Bewerter eine greifbare Bewertungsmatrix erstellen

das haben wir extra nicht gemacht. 

Jede Bewertung ist immer eine Momentaufnahme, Dinge ändern sich, sodass wir nie auf einem aktuellen Stand sein können.
(es sei denn, wir schicken auch jedes Jahr zig-tausend Bewerter raus.

Mein Beispiel bei allen Überlegungenwar war immer der alte Mitten View.

Mit Toiletten, Duschen und Sauberkeit hätte er überall miserabel abgeschnitten. Allein die Einfahrt war ein Abenteuer.
Aber mit der Aussicht.... für mich einer der schönsten Cgs überhaupt.

Hallo Werner,

es sei denn, wir schicken auch jedes Jahr zig-tausend Bewerter raus.

das lässt sich anhand der Mitgliedszuwächse extrapolieren, wann das soweit ist. ;-)

Hallo 

am 11.11.2013 hatten wir 1289 Campgrounds eingetragen, heute ein Jahr später 1831!! 

Einen grossen Dank an alle Mitglieder die dies ermöglichten.

Hallo,

wir haben das Tempo hochhalten können und kommen per heutigem Tag auf 2349 Einträge. Das nenne ich eine reife Leistung und zeigt, das die Gemeinschaft funktioniert.

Hallo Richard,

Beitrag sollte hier hin,

liegt wohl am jetlag!

Liebe Grüße Gerd

Hallo,

ich habe mal eine etwas komische Frage....es gibt einige Campgrounds (meist KOA's) auf denen wir waren, die jedoch noch nicht in der Liste zu finden sind.

Wäre es hilfreich, wenn ich sie nachtrage, auch wenn ich selten ein Bild davon habe oder ratet ihr dann lieber ab?

Vielen Dank

Grüße,

Tina

Hi Tina

Auch ohne Bild ... unsere CG-Datenbank lebt von den persönlichen Erfahrungen. Also: ja, bitte eintragen, wäre sehr nett.

Danke.
