News Flash! Search by map added to CoastResorts.com
The BIG news this issue is that we have added search by maps to our member website, CoastResorts.com. To try this great new feature for yourself, go to our website and select “Find a Resort,” then on the USA map just click on the state you want to view. The search result will display as a map of that state, with all the Coast Resorts and Coast Good Neighbor Parks in that state displayed as pins on the map. Coast Resorts are displayed as red pins, and Coast Good Neighbor Parks are displayed as navy blue pins. When you click on a pin, a pop-up box will display the name, address, and facility type (Classic, Deluxe, Premier Resort or Good Neighbor Park). You can move around the map, or scroll in and out, by using the handy Google map tools. Below the map will be a listing of all the facilities in that

state, and that list can be sorted by just clicking on any of the headers (Park Name, City, or Type). Many of you have asked for this feature to be added to our website, so I know you’ll be excited to have this available to you now as part of our reservation process. Check it out the next time you’re on our website, and drop us a line with your feedback at CCRPresident@coastresorts.com. “Like” Coast Resorts on Facebook Staying with the online theme, Coast to Coast relaunched our Facebook page in late July and will be making regular posts with travel news, member updates, and resort activities.

Tennessee Good Neighbor Park Honored In other news, congratulations are due to one of our newest Good Neighbor Parks. Smoky Mountain Premier RV Resort in Cosby, Tennessee, has been named the Tennessee Campground of the Year for 2015-2016 by the Tennessee Campground Association. Congratulations to owners Kelly Williamson and Jessica Brooks for their outstanding job developing this special property. The owners took great care to preserve large old-growth shade trees throughout the resort, which borders the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Yet even with all those shade trees, the resort is big-rig friendly with an average RV site size of 2,500 square
feet. In addition to the national park, just down the road are the resort towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so there’s plenty to see and do for visitors. Check out the profile of Smoky Mountain Premier RV Resort on page 22 of the Summer issue of Coast magazine, and make plans to visit next time you’re in the area. In closing, our staff is hard at work on the 2016 Coast Resort Directory, which we think will be our best directory issue to date. Look for the new directory to be delivered to you during the first half of January 2016. Until then, best wishes for some great Fall travel using your Coast membership, and Happy Holidays!
