I know this "campground". It was developed ~1970. They started by selling lots. Lot purchasers placed permanent trailers on the lots. After all lots were sold the property was turned over to the lot owners and the developers pulled out. Some live there permanently even though that is against the rules. It quickly turned in to a dump. Junk cars and all. I live about 40 miles south and have visited friends there quite a few times. This was not a "by the night" campground but a trailer court/park.
You are giving that place too much credit using the word dump, it's a seasonal slum. Most of the trailers have been there since 70 and have multiple wood framed additions built on. There are more than a few year round residents and a good splattering of transient Marcellus gas field workers and pipeliners. Hardly a campground by any definition. 100% spot on calling it a Trailer court/park.
From my observance, almost every 'campground' around here, KOA, Pirolli Park, Wilderness Retreat, Covered Wagon and a couple others, all have 'seasonal' units with add on's like porches and sheds... seems to be the norm. People buy an RV and then park it forever in a seasonal spot, something I cannot warm up to at all. IMO, trailer trash personafide..
