What we are finding, is that the closer you get to an urban setting, campgrounds and options become fewer, expensive and more questionable. Our objective is not to be in a mobile home park with a lot of long term residents. While our trailer is currently our home, we are not looking for the long term feel…
In general, an RV resort typically offers a more upscale camping experience with extra amenities, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers and restaurants. These are usually spacious, well-maintained sites with full hookups and easy access for larger RVs. $$$$
Campgrounds are defined and maintained sites. They are mostly level have a picnic table and a fire ring. Water, trash bins and toilets are centrally available. $- $$
Premium camp sites may have hookups for electrical and/or water. A shower and a dump location may also be available. $$_$$$
Dispersed camping will have no defined sites, though may have been “improved” by users. No fee, no reservations.
Primitive camping or dry camping is without hook-ups
Boon-docking can be anywhere without hookups but is associated with being remote and self-sufficient…so no amenities no trash facilities, restrooms, or dump stations…
