To summarize
City, County, State, Federal CG - 14 days is most common max length of stay
Private CG - many welcome month or longer stays.
Electricity is usually metered and billed separately in month long stays, but week long stays with metered electricity is coming more common.
If you want to stay for a month or longer - always talk to the CG in advance.
Some exceptions exists - in the winter or slow seasons - some state and federal (and local government) campgrounds in some areas do allow longer stays than 14 days.
Arizona state parks have some winter season rates. So do a few in Texas.
COE parks in Texas normally have full winter residents. Even many COE parks in southern Oklahoma which are 'closed' from 1 Oct - 31 Mar - allow winter campers - electricity is on, but no water available except at one frost free faucet per CG. No sewer connections are available either.
Salt Springs USFS Campground in Florida has several months allowed in the winter.
