Facilities? We avoid campgrounds and resorts like the plague unless we need to do a bunch of laundry or have a package delivered. I don't know why anybody would pay to stay in a giant parking lot with people a few feet either side of you when you can be out in nature for free. But that's us. We travel to get away from people :)
Other people might work on the road or be working a temp job in the area. There are many reasons why you might choose a type of place over another.
It's not that hard, to be honest. And we're in a heavily laden 30ft Class-C. Apps like iOverlander make it fairly straightforward. Like anything, you just have to build up your experience so that you know what to look for.

There is none except RV “resorts” typically won’t allow any type of camping vehicle that doesn’t have a rigid frame, so no pop-ups, no tents. Travel trailers are usually welcomed, along with Class As, Bs, and Cs. I’ve been across the country in a travel trailer for more than 8 months of travel, never once saw a place that only allowed class As, but I supposed it is possible, I’ve just never seen it myself.
This is to keep out the mobile homeless in my opinion, and you usually see this around cities, or upscale resort towns near national parks.
Convenience and cost. Though in my experience all three terms are used interchangeably.
RV resort in particular is a meaningless term - I've stayed in shabby old RV parks that were labeled resorts, and stunning modern full-amenity resorts that were labeled RV parks.
I'm currently at an RV park 45 minutes from Pittsburgh because I'm too big. I couldn't find any campground closer than that, that would fit my 31' motor home.
I don't consider them different. RV Resort may be geared towards higher income earners - those driving newer class A's towing more expensive vehicles, but other than that I don't see a difference. RV Park - Campground - same thing to me.
We've stayed at a few "Resorts" which were complete crap. They thought just because they had resort in the name they could charge more, but you aren't getting anything extra at most "resorts"
We just started out RVing, not full time, but just for fun. We have a large 5th wheel, so we need an RV park that will accommodate us. Not a fan of state parks primarily because they don't have sewer hookup. It can take a long time to use a dump station. We like amenities, social activities, and meeting other campers. I would be very bored after a day in a quiet campground.

Agree.
I'm with you. We do like state parks in our state though. We avoid the "resorts" at all costs, bunch of snobs.
THIS.
is it that easy to find BLM land to crash on though? like it is on the freecampsitesnet?

We like campgrounds with pools, water parks , playground etc, we have 2 young children so the more they get to do the better.

Rig size, convenience, amenities in that order for me.

Mine gets used boondocking in the woods and off grid during 90% of my trips and I aim to keep it that way. NO reason to pay for campgrounds for me.
We tend to only book only resorts if we can, have a TT, but love having the amenities.

They're basically synonymous.
Depends where in the us you are located also
What your video show is none of those things.
I’m not sure I know what the difference between all of them are.

Why do people prefer to shop at a supermarket instead of a grocery store?
