- DutchmenSportExplorerWhat is an RV resort? -- a campground that charges more money to make their clientele think they are getting something special.
- SDcampowneroperExplorerResorts are in the eye of the builder. Its term is usually used to catch travellers as an 'exclusive' clientele, not because it has any exclusive amenity except probably those parks with unit type , clothing option , or age restrictions.
Ignore the naming. A resort, park, campground, find your place with your wishes with your fingers, friends and google earth.
Review sites such as campgroundreviews.com, campsitephotos.com, tripadvisor.com, are useful, not dependable. you choose what is what is right for you. - agesilausExplorer IIIYeah, we stayed at one in Tucson but it was off season. The definition is ill defined and mainly consists of what the cg calls itself. I don't believe the monthly stays are required but snowbirders typically want to lock up their spot for a long period.
In active snowbird areas it is common to make reservations a year in advance.
We probably have stopped at other resorts but since we do not hang around the cg and partake of what they have to offer, we probably didn't notice. - LwiddisExplorer IIAn “RV Resort” is an excuse to make an additional charge for amenities...usually that aren’t worth the charge because they aren’t very nice or because I don’t use them.
