Not really. There is a big difference in how people view money. Old money abhors the flash of the nouveau riche (aka conspicuous consumption). Some who drive their flash are afraid of being robbed and may live in an HOA and want HOA type security while camping.
And many people believe in social castes, that others are above or beneath them based on wealth, education or family and dont want to associate with those below them. In campgrounds the only measure of caste is how big/new is your rig altho $$$$$, $$$, and $$ tends to limit crossover.
So anyone who declines to associate with those they feel are "inferior" are snobs. And it is the campground owner who is making the rules, not necessarily the campers. After seeing many campgrounds I have come up with a "gravity" theory. Campgrounds, thru location, rules and facilities establish a certain ambiance that pulls certain kind of people who gravitate to that campground usually permanent or seasonal campers. Then the rules may tighten and increase in number. Everyone finds their comfort level.
Me, I like variety and I am a snob about that.
