That way we don't get into a gray area by commenting on the kinds of people who own a park. I doubt you would consider it appropriate to comment if a particular church owned an RV park, unless that church's practices affected your enjoyment of it. The same thing is true of the marijuana folks. They might own it and you'd never know it if they simply ran it as a business. It's only when they cross the line and their "beliefs" affect customers that it is appropriate to comment on in a review.

I respectfully disagree.
If a reviewer knows who/what entity owns a campground, that is useful information. For example, this week we visited a campground owned by a local gun club. There are weekly shooting matches during some months of the year. This would be useful for people who have an opinion (either pro or con) on the subject of guns.
Also, we were recently invited to a wedding which will be held at what we were told was a "campground". Great! Load up the RV, right? Wrong. It's actually owned by an eco-consciousness group that would not likely appreciate our diesel pusher.
In our travels we have sought out American-owned businesses, Amish- and Mennonite- owned lodgings and the like. We like to stay at family-owned campgrounds. Are we supposed to leave that stuff out of reviews because religion is a "gray area" and it might be "too personal"?
And as for that campground owned by the Marijuana Group: Some people will be looking for just such a place now that personal use is legal in Colorado and others are going to want to avoid it if 'partaking' is not their lifestyle choice. Either way, it's useful information.
