Management: not sure what you're meaning here. If you mean a well managed park, okay.. but reality is, generally speaking, my interaction with the management staff is on check-in. Don't even have to interact at checkout at most places.
Price is down towards the end for me too. I'll pay more for a decent place with hookups and nice, large sites.

Thanks. Definitely my personal priority. I'd like a green screen between every site.
There is a financial and engineering reasons beyond land costs as to why sites are not widely scattered. You can figure on costs of over $200 a linear foot for each foot of site width. Wider sites mean more wire and piping. It may mean you will need to upsize your actual wire due to voltage loss. Wider sites also mean you will have longer roads. Wider sites mean you have to go deeper with the sewer lines to maintain slope for flow. It may mean you have to upsize the sewer lines from 4" feeders to 6" or 8" mains if the runs are too long or you may have a need for lift stations. Wider sites mean longer excavation trenches for those utilities, also at additional costs. Wider sites mean more landscaping to create and maintain. Those trees between sites have roots that can cause damage to the wiring and plumbing over time, and are big obstacles to work around if you intend to leave large existing trees intact while running utilities. The larger an area you spread the park across the greater the challenge to provide Wifi. There may even be state requirements as to how far away from restrooms sites may be located, especially if they are not sites with sewer hookups. It isn't just about having acres of land.
