RV Park vs. Campground

[Oldgator73]

This is camping - possibly to include sleeping in the back of a pickup truck:

This is not camping:

You should insert “In my opinion” .

We can each have our preferences and a definition of what we mean when we use one of the terms, but never, ever, assume another uses the term the same way as you do.

Of course it's my opinion. Everything anyone posts on here is their opinion.

I guess I'll post someone else's opinion. You should insert “In my opinion” . (Just to be clear, this was an attempt to be humorous. )

Listen very closely: Everything I say is a lie.

But since all that area was closed, all the RV parks in the area were packed like sardine cans.

Seems strange they would want us all packed together because of COVID.

The other really dumb things a lot of RV Parks or campgrounds did even towards the end of COVID was to close laundry rooms because they did not want us congregating there, as if we like to congregate in laundry rooms. This meant we had to go to commercial laundromats, which are a lot more crowded than an RV park laundry room with only a couple of washers and dryers. I ended up doing a lot of washing out of stuff in my bathroom sink. Luckily, arrived at one of my son's houses where I could use their equipment.

Not necessarily. There is a lot of fact posted on this forum. You posted something as fact;
”This is camping”
”This is not camping”.
The only statement you left out was “Nuff said”.

There is a lot of fact posted on this forum.

Whose facts? It's like climate change. Fred says 'X', Sally says 'Y'. Both of them can back up their opinion with "facts". Whose facts are more factual, the one with more pages in their report...or the one who talks louder than the other?

Just the fact that you said both can back up their opinions with facts says it all.

Exactly...

Of course it's my opinion. Everything anyone posts on here is their opinion.

As much as possible I try to pass on actual "facts" and "generally accepted" procedures or principles obtained from expert sources. Granted there is some room for interpretation there, but when I post that LP gas pressure inside the RV is approximately 0.5 psi, that's not just my opinion. But if I post that your trailer sway is caused by insufficient tongue weight, that's an opinion and I try to remember to identify it as such.

 

[Onyrlef]

The problems arise when opinions are conflated with and expressed as facts, as in it's less about what is right and more about who. I'm not personally aware of any distinction except where those luxury resorts restrict access to certain classes of RV's. Not sure it matters anyway. Not that much camping goes on in most of them around here regardless. They're usually full of MH's and Fiver's whose occupants sequester themselves in front of TV's or Screens all day while the A/C's blast away. Most don't even come outside to cook.

Here's my view in an RV Park:


Here's my view in a campground:



Pretty easy to decide which I prefer.

That is exactly what we're looking for.

That was the lower campground at Grand Gulf Military Park (Civil war site) in Mississippi about 30 miles south of Vicksburg

Campground: What’s the Difference?

If you are still reading this thread, you may be sorry that you asked! Folks do tend to beat such subjects to death.

Particularly when the question has no definitive answer.

That's similar to the COE parks I stay in when I go back to Arkansas. I'd class that as a campground since you don't have any problem walking between your rig and your neighbor's rig.

The "RV park" photo is in Quartzsite, the "campground" pic is DeMotte campground near the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
