Is this a Campground or an RV Park?
I notice a lot of different descriptions of where Rvers stay. Curious as to what you would define this place as; an RV Park, a Campground, or some sort of a Resort? Campground or an RV Park?

According to US CBP border agents, RVers don't go camping at campgrounds.
Got pulled over at US Customs out of the Nexus lineup for a random computer generated inspection back in Nov. when I was en-route to our regular CG with our TT. For anyone who has had to meet a CBP officer face to face, you'll know how intimidating they can be. The nice (not) CBP guy at the counter asks where I am going, and I proudly pointed out to our TT and said I was going camping over the weekend. He said, "NO! You are NOT going camping." I was pretty nervous at this point. I didn't know where the conversation was headed and if they were going to ship me off to Guantanamo Bay. Then he says, "camping is when you pitch a tent and sleep on the ground". I felt like saying "whatever" but agreed with him and told him I was going to Beachwood Resort and then he was happy. Good grief.... I was eventually released after they did a thorough search of our TT and truck and determined all was okay.
So, just a heads up for those crossing the border into the US. If you are heading to a CG with your RV for some "camping", you aren't actually going camping at a campground. Tell them you are going to an RV Resort or RV Park. :R
