The Good Sam Club is an international organization of recreational vehicle owners. Its primary goals are to make RVing safer and more enjoyable, and to save members money through Club-endorsed benefits and services. It claims over a million members.

Good Sam Club is owned by the Affinity Group Inc., which also owns Trailer Life Publications, Motor Home Publications, Camping World, Woodalls, and Camp Coast to Coast.

The name comes from the Bible parable of the Good Samaritan, where a traveller from the region of Samaria helped a person along the road who had been robbed and beaten.

There are 1,700 RV Parks and Campgrounds affiliated with the Good Sam organization and offer Club members discounts for staying in their parks. These RV Parks have to meet a minimum standard of services and appearance to be considered for association. These parks are inspected annually by Good Sam representatives and secret inspectors. The representatives from Good Sam help the parks stay current with industry trends and the needs of RV'ers. Good Sam publications available to members provide the members with the information they need to find the parks that provide the level of services they need or prefer. Associated parks pay no revenue to Good Sam other then the cost of inspection and may advertise in the Good Sam publications at their discretion.
