Real life experience:
I have been traveling in a homebrew camper van for several years. I don't have an RVIA sticker, and no one has ever mentioned it. I would not know those stickers even existed, if not for this forum.
I have only once been told 'no', and that was over the phone. They did not ask about a sticker.
What I do is call ahead and describe my rig. I don't like to waste my time or theirs, or put people on the spot. Other than that one time, they always say it is just fine.
My rig is clean and in good shape, but it just looks like something someone would use for grocery shopping, not like an RV.
I do prefer low end parks, and I am sure that is a factor. I would not expect an upscale resort to want me, just like I do not want them :B. But we might put up with each other for one night, if it was their slow season and I really needed a place!
Gov campgrounds, are, of course, a different deal. They are focused on making the outdoors accessible to everyone, so anything goes.
