rvparkreviews.com - favor couples?

Just a random thought. We just finished a 2 week trip with the little kiddos. We were picking RV parks based on reviews on rvparkreviews.com. We started to notice a trend -- the parks with higher reviews were also parks that didn't seem to have play areas for the kids. :)

I wonder if the reviews on that site are skewed such that those doing the reviews prefer parks that are less "kid friendly."
  • Most parks aren't very kid friendly, at least the ones we've stayed at over the years. Not that they dislike kids but I believe there just isn't the demand for them.
  • Just look at this website. The majority of posters are older with no kids still at home. So, yes, there is a skew - but it's a legitimate skew.
  • The reviews on rvparkreviewers are sent in by folks like yourself and myself; the aggregates are just simple mathematical averages of whatever people send in. If there is bias, then it's just that folks with kids aren't sending in (enough) reviews.
