How do you choose a campsite?

This has been an interesting read.
I don't have a big rig anything but a funky looking 35 yr old home converted van. That I love. I have had 2 places that didn't let us stay one because they had no, none, zero, bathroom shower facilities. That one I understood. 1 that had the camp host and a fellow camper came as we were setting up and told us we had to leave because we were not a legit RV. Picture grumpy Karen lady and her back up. We left because we didn't want to be anywhere she was. My van is old but well cared for.
I want, when looking for a place to be for a night is safe and secure from zombies and other 2-legged, creepy crawlies. If there is power great, if it is level great. If we need to pay for it, we will want a shower and cell service ...
If we are going to be someplace for a few days I want power. I want water close by. Showers and bathrooms CLEAN. Cell service and space. Good strong picnic tables. I like quiet and private, last fall we had a BIG diesel truck start up and pull out that was parked not 5 feet from our bed at 4:30 am. Not going back to that campground again all the sites were way to close. We often stop at KOA's because we need to do laundry, they all have those. Most also have fenced doggy yards and WIFI, and showers. For families a safe playground. I like quiet private spaces, but hubby likes to see people, he is a people watcher. Not the creepy kind just likes to see people have fun. I am always happy to see a dishwashing sink. Though that is just a happy not a needed thing, And I still only put my dishes in MY dish pans. Fire rings or BBQs are good to have. And firewood for sell if you have fire rings.

I sure hope you have made a good RV place, and it is up and running by now.

I’m trying to learn how other people choose where to stay in their RV among the thousands of potential options. If there was a website or app that could help you select a site that had exactly what you wanted, what other selection criteria would you add?

Fishing available for free like some parks with lakes. Put a small store in so if people need eggs, snacks, ice, etc. Maybe have craft day for kids in the park.

I haven’t called it anything yet. I bought a 50+ acre plot of flat, wooded land outside of Nashville and am boondocking for now. I plan to build out an RV camp to help pay the bills and serve eventually as a “home base” where I live and manage the camp but can leave from time to time to travel elsewhere. A way to help pay for the lifestyle. I know what I like, but I want to know what others are looking for so I can make my site a destination people want to come to. If I’m going to do it, I want to do it right!

Big chess or checkers board on the ground, hoops, shuffle board, horse shoes, frisbee golf.

NO FIREWORKS aloud on or near camp property. People are trying to relax and enjoy the surroundings, not loud noises. Fire hazard anyway.
