1) Pull-through sites are appreciated for those doing one-nighters en route.
2) Think about big rigs - 42' DP motorhomes, 40' fifth wheels with medium duty trucks (and sometimes larger).
3) most commercial parks try to pack 'em in to maximize revenue; I won't go back to a park a second time if the sites are too narrow or too short for my equipment.
4) Infrastructure is paramount! Good, STRONG 50 amp electric and water stanchions that are insulated or heated to be usable in the dead of winter. Sewer connections are needed if you want folks to stay more than a couple of nights (such as those in the area visiting family, doing medical appointments, etc.).
5) Trees are nice, but some places in the East have trees completely covering RV sites. This makes it difficult or impossible to get a satellite signal and can result in limbs and debris hitting and collecting on the roofs of the RVs.
6) Level sites. Gravel that is too deep does not provide a firm enough surface to level, either. Gravel/sand that is too small constantly tracks into RV and vehicles.
7) Reasonable rates and/or discounts for Good Sam's, Escapees, Passport America, military, etc.
8) Wi-Fi: this is not a make-or-break for most full-timers or snowbirds as we carry our own Wi-Fi capability with us. It's nice, though, to have park Wi-Fi available for things like updating GPSs and the like. If you're going to do Wi-Fi, don't scrimp. Wi-Fi that's not up to the task is no better than none at all. The park where we are currently staying (for medical appointments) has good Wi-Fi with plenty of bandwidth and a number of access points around the park. That's the way to do it if you're going to.
9) The laundry is a very nice feature. For that many spaces, I would recommend a bare minimum of six large washers and dryers with enough space and tables for folding and a place to hang clothes coming out of the dryers.
Thanks for asking!
