Terminology Question

And occasionally an "RV" park is a trailer park (permanent residents) and some overnight spots. Sometimes NOT a place you may want to spend the night!

What you get doesn't necessarily relate to the name. I've been to public campgrounds (state, etc.) that are the equal of many RV parks and been to RV parks that other than full hookups weren't all that nice.

A) Price
B) There is no standard nomenclature for these terms;
However I would usually expect;
campground to allow all types of camping, Tent, pop up, etc etc.
RV park would be for RV only and May or may not allow POP ups.
RV resort to have amenities above those of a standard RV park such as golf and have an extensive activity program for guests. In addition some RV resorts specially in the south for long term snow birds have a no older than 10 year rule for an RV which may be waived after a usually cursory exam of the exterior of your rig.
Any way that how I see it.

Prices, when they add the word "Resort", they can & usually do double the price.
To be slightly fair, Resorts generally offer more amenities, whether you need or want them or not, they are also usually more restrictive.
IMHO

Campground in this part of the country seems to refer to more rural,basic state or NF camping. RV park is more upscale full hookup place. RV resort is just what you might expect at places like Sandal or other resorts. Lots of high cost and pampering. In other parts of the country it could mean something different. Same goes for RV types. I grew up believing a camper was mounted in the bed of a truck. Not any more. Now people refer to a camper as any sort of RV. As in RV camper. Still have a hard time with that.
