Whatever works for you be it a camper or trailer.

If you drag it behind you it's a trailer. If you can take it to a campground, it's a camper. Unless it's a bicycle.

RV/Recreational Vehicle is just the formal term encompassing them all. Except bicycles.

lol that article says nothing solid and still called everything a campground.

RV Resorts

When a place labels themselves as an RV resort, you should be able to expect some extra features not normally found at other RV establishments.
This may include cable TV at your site, wireless Internet service throughout the campground, swimming pools, tennis courts, maybe even a golf course.
Sites will be roomy with paved, level parking pads. Usually, the number of RV spaces will run into the hundreds as it will take quite a traffic flow in order to be profitable.
Some RV resorts are gated with manned gate houses and you might find that your RV must be of a certain caliber in order to gain entry. Tents, crudely converted school buses, and large rowdy groups are likely to be turned away.
The RV sites may or may not be pull through, but you can expect both 30 amp and 50 amp power to be available, as well both water and sewer hookups.
The facility may even provide shuttle busses to transport you to nearby activities.

RV Parks

RV parks tend to be more of a woodsy or park-like setting.
There is less in the way of high-end amenities, although the trade-off for more secluded sites could be more appealing.


Still, most RV parks cater to the motorhome or large travel trailer crowd, so adequate room should be available for maneuvering your large RV into position.
Inside an RV park, the roads should be either paved or well-maintained gravel, and parking pads should be level and spacious.

RV Campgrounds

RV campgrounds tend to be much closer to primitive camping.
Maybe electricity will be available, though not in all instances. Likewise water and sewer hookups may not always be there.
Usually, there will be a dump station within the facility, but that too may be unavailable at some RV campgrounds.
The sites should be large enough and level enough to accommodate most RVs. However, if your rig is a 45-foot highway coach, a walk-thru would be a good idea before you take your RV off the paved highway. It’s hit or miss as to the number of RV campgrounds that can accommodate large motorhomes.

Regular Campgrounds

Campground is a rather generic term. It can mean anything from “full-sized RVs welcome” to a “pack in, tents only” scenario.
Absolutely every RV owner should walk through the campground before venturing down that narrow trail with tree branches waiting to take off your TV antenna or air conditioner.
On the one hand, you may be surprised with the amount of space available, and it might be a delightful little spot in the woods tailor-made for you.
On the other hand, it might consist of little more than a half dozen spots to set up tents, and any attempt to enter with your RV is going to result in serious damage.

"Should"

"May"

"Some"

"Might"

Since you don't own anything it really does not matter. I was posting info that is common to those of us with RV's. Most of us started at the bottom and worked our way up. That's where knowledge from ownership comes into play.

Oh I see. You can't bear the thought of your expensive RV being called a camper.

Do you go around correcting everyone at the campsite too? Joe and I can't be the only folks using slang.

Owning one wouldn't stop me from calling it a camptwr, btw and experience has nothing to do with it. I know the difference between all the types but collectively I call them campers as do a lot of people.

lmao...............Stupid beyond belief.....

Nah not beyond belief. I'm redneck. Mostly from seatbelt chafing. But still.
