People really appreciate level pull through RV spots. I would go for a park with larger camp sites and plenty of trees. You can charge more for those. Then you get a better clientele and bring something other parks don't have.
Trees are OK if they are not over the motorhome. Ideally, when the sun is setting, it would be nice for the trees to be on the west side of the park.
I hate it when 'stuff' falls on the slides. We don't have slide toppers and I have to be aware of what falls on the coach. 99% of the time, we are OK. I have been under trees dropping acorns and small sticks; I have to get the ladder out to clean the top of the slides. It doesn't take long but I sure wouldn't want to do it in the rain (lucky, haven't had to yet).
So, I like a 'tree free' site.

It has been my experience that everyone wants to camp in the forest, but no one wants to be near any trees.
As far as big sites, treed landscaping and the like, that only adds financial value to long term repeat visitors. Overnighters and other short stay guests just won't pay $10 a night more for that added ambiance. And it is very hard for advertising to convey those types of benefits. Hence the value comes in only to those guests familiar with the park.
