Terminology Question
Hello, Rookie Rver :C here! When researhing places to stay what are the differences between a campground, an RV park, and an RV resort?
Forum Discussion
$$$ for sure. But they also, most times, relate to the sites and amenities that they provide.
Campgrounds can be basic. Which is what we did when we tent camped.
Some "Resorts" have stages and shows and big dinners and more things than you can imagine....golf, pool rooms, many pools, hot tubs, etc.
We are more into RV parks. We like full hookups - done the primitive tent camping, thank you.
But we will go to nice state parks if they have water, electric and a dump station. Great ones are Catalina State Park here in Tucson (yes, it is only about 50 miles away on the other side of town from us but we go there!) and Anza Borrego in Borrego Springs, CA.
For overnight we will skip sewer if they have good restrooms and a pull thru site.
Bottom line - in general - $$$$ and amenities.
(Above comments based on 16 years part time RV'ing and staying at about 165 places - 98% of which here in the 11 western states and 2 western provinces)
