Definition of "Primitive" vs "Tent Only"

Where did you find the words primitive camping describing a campsite there? When I look at the recreation.gov website (where you make reservations), they describe sites as standard electric, standard nonelectric and tent only. I see nothing (or haven't seen anything as of yet) describing primitive.

http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/canyon/Recreation/Camping/Primitive.asp

says there are no primitive campsites....so what's the argument?

The recreation.gov pages for Canyon Park and North Park say nothing about types of camping and facilities:

http://www.recreation.gov/recreationalAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=248411&facilityId=248411&agencyCode=70902

http://www.recreation.gov/recreationalAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=248409&facilityId=248409&agencyCode=70902

In fact, they don't even mention camping.

Here is the more descriptive page about Canyon Park:

http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/canyon/Recreation/Parks/Corpsparks.asp#CanyonPark

which says: "Canyon Park is a primitive camp ground located on the North shore of Canyon Lake. The facilities include 150 campsites, two overnight shelters, one day use shelter, a boat ramp and courtesy dock, vault toilets, water fountains and over 8 miles of hiking and biking trails. This park is primitive and does NOT offer shower facilities."

Nowhere does it say "tent only". Nothing in that description tells me I can't take my RV there.

Here's the North Park description:

http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/canyon/Recreation/Parks/Corpsparks.asp#North


"North Park is located on the North side of Canyon Lake Dam on North Park Road. There are 19 campsites (no RV hookups), vault toilets, no showers, no boat ramp. Each campsite includes a picnic table and a fire ring. This is a popular scuba diving area."

Again, nothing there says it is "tent only" or that I cannot go there in my RV.

I merely tried to suggest to Mr. Camillocci that they clarify their "tent only" intention on those web pages.
