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?

[imgoin4it]

If I park my RV in it, it is an RV park to me. RV resorts are an RV park that charges more money than I need or want to pay. I advised a young couple who at the time we're building an RV park and who had already registered the business as a "resort" to not use that term on their signs or advertizing. They did as I suggested, but initially they had misconception, as some other owners have had, about what constitutes a resort.

If you are in an RV it is an RV park.
If you take a tent site then it is a campground

The photo did not display properly in your original post, it was not "erased". The moderator fixed it so it does display correctly.

It's whatever the RV campground/park/resort owner wants to call it. There are no legal, or even "generally accepted" definitions of the terms. I think in common usage, RV'ers expectations are for additional features at each "class" from "campground" on up to "resort", but those expectations are not always met. In my opinion, "RV Park" is probably appropriate for the park pictured.

While the words campground, park and resort used to mean different things, people have used them interchangeably for so long the meaning has drifted.

Many members here describe their stay differently. What I was attempting to do was to find out if what many people describe as a campground, my actually be what I would envision as an RV Park.

I believe the difference is the owner

Some call it an RV park
Some a Campground
Some a Preserve
Some a Resort

Genrally there is not a lot of diference. Though one does expect a Resort to have a few ups, like a swimming pool, and perhaps a couple other things.

It is sleeping bear rv park as described in the address of the picture you posted.
