In the past, when we had a smaller RV and lived in the Northwest we stayed at Oregon State Parks and enjoyed that experience. Now that we have a larger RV we prefer full hookups and the amenities of a better equipped RV Resort. That said, I am confused about what qualifies as a "resort".
Is there any standard by which one can call themselves a resort? So far we have seen the gamut from beautifully landscaped facility with a beautiful lobby in Escondido, to a patch of concrete pads with a restroom facility in Chandler, AZ that didn't even have an office to check in, but had the nerve to call themselves a "resort". We have stayed at one that had a beautiful restaurant and bar, nice swimming pool and spa, with a well equipped shop. Last week we stayed at a resort that had an adult spa (closed every day that we were there due to impending rain), a wine bar (closed except on weekends during high season), an unheated pool, a nice shop, and three dog runs covered in pebbles, and precious little landscaping. The prices were that of a resort, but the amenities were lacking.
What do those who generally stay at RV resorts expect to find there?
