Twenty-seven campgrounds, RV parks and resorts earned all around “A” grades in the sixth annual consumer satisfaction survey of campgrounds, RV parks and resorts.

The top parks were announced Thursday during the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds’ annual Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo, which took place at the Knoxville Convention Center.

More than 30,000 camping and RV enthusiasts participated in the online survey, which evaluated guest experiences at more than 3,000 individual campgrounds, RV parks and resorts that are affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds, which hosts GoCampingAmerica.com, the camping travel planning website.

“Consistently earning an overall ‘A’ grade from guests is difficult, and our 27 winners this year represent less than 2 percent of all of the nation’s campgrounds.  But what is even more impressive is that four of this year’s winners have also received this award for six years in a row,” said Bob MacKinnon, president and CEO of GuestRated.com, the company that conducted the online survey on behalf of the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds.
