No doubt the use of the term resort is getting out of hand as it pertains to private RV parks, primarily because many RVers want to believe they are living the resort life, thus the title of the park includes this moniker to catch their eye.
For many who see this representation know full well that the majority of these private RV parks don't live up to the hype, sometimes staying at these overpriced parking lots being sardined in like non-resort parks isn't a choice, rather a circumstance of RVing in a popular destination.
To each their own as the saying goes, we can't always have it our way, some prefer always having hookups, others prefer open spaces and self-containment. One way or another, no matter which side you're on, you will find that you may be stuck where you partake in the opposite spectrum.
For us we do it all with extreme success, where we lay our heads down for slumber is dependent on what type of trip we re taking. Whether we are enjoying events/museums/culture in a large city or exploring natural wonders we utilize all our rig's amenities with or without hookups.
Pools, hot tubs, saunas, club house, game room, or other park amenities are nice but we have those at home already. Our choices are not determined solely on park features, pricing, or location, rather we do what works for us wherever we happen to be, being flexible guarantees success.
