While making a trip across the country from New Jersey we utilized the coast to coast network. We reserved and stayed at several resorts classified as DELUXE resorts. They were, to say the least, as far from deluxe as you could get. One was in Virginia, one in Tennessee, and one in New Mexico. The one in Virginia had horrible interior roads, sites were dirt or gravel, and the club house was dirty and unkempt. Tennessee's was gravel and grass sites with no amenities, no table, no nothing. In New Mexico, our deluxe campsite had no amenities. There was no room to put out our awning, nor was there a picnic table. There was hardly enough room to get in and out of the motor home.
Thats the rule more than the exception with commercial campgrounds, especially when labeled "resort" and even more so if seasonals are accomodated which is most.
If you want room for your awning, a picnic table, and the neighbors window more than 3' from yours look for State Parks or ACOE places. Some have tight sites too, but most don't. Just don't be afraid to go without FHUs. If thats an absolute requirement then your'e pretty much up sheet creek.
