Has anyone looked at or joined RVillage? What do you think about it?

I always questioned why you would need to use a social site to seek out people in campgrounds? Just take a walk and talk to people.

The people who helped start it:

I think they were hired to do the work, not the founders. It didn't appeal to me, as I don't stay in RV parks.

I joined and faithfully checked in to every campground we stayed at over the 6 month winter trip. I actively sought out other members that were in the same park. I met 3 people from RVillage on the trip. Some members check in to a park but don't have a rig description so they can't be located by walking/biking around the CG. Some people check in and put a "here until" date and it was 2 months ago. Next trip, I don't think I'll bother.

Someone who camps more frequently and who loves to connect up with acquaintances while camping would probably enjoy RVillage more.

Ditto.. It's not a bad idea but it took forever and allot of nasty emails before the would clear out a corrupted password. By that time I was over the thrill

From what I've heard of others who have tried it, it's become a hyped up social medium. Folks aren't using it when they set up camp or moving from camp to camp. There's not much activity on the site for the purpose it was intended.

You can always meet people in campgrounds if that's your intention. If you're a biker, look in the campground for bikes and start up a conversation and perhaps a ride together, etc. Not everyone needs a social director to make for an enjoyable trip.
