How important is a swimming pool when you’re choosing an RV park for a week-long stay?

Would you choose one park over another because it had a pool? Do you actually use campground pools enough for them to influence where you stay?

You must be bored and in need of a real pita. I'd think that in the case of an adults only park it wouldn't be much of a consideration. Adults who hang out around a pool are usually there only because the kids are there.
I had a 20 x 40 inground pool when I lived in Florida and the kids were young. The maintenance of it was my other job. I can't imagine trying to keep up a semi-public pool.

I don’t think I would choose one over the other based on that alone. However, if one is there, I’ll probably be in it at least once.

I don't think we've ever stayed at an RV park with a pool.

If there's no publically accessible lake nearby, I can see it being an asset for those with kids. However, I didn't get the impression that was the clientele you were after.

For adults, I would think a hot tub would be more of a boon than a swimming pool. I've stayed at several hotels that just had the first without the second.

We very much enjoy pools and have indeed chosen one park over another based on that specific amenity.
Hot tubs are a bonus.

Personally, I’d rather have a hot tub than a pool.

Oh lord no, it's not for Deer Springs! A swimming pool that's only usable for a couple of months each year would make very little sense up here in the mountains.

But who knows . . . there may be a more resort-style endeavor floating around in in the empty space above my shoulders. Besides, pools aren't just for swimming. They give people something to look at while they're sitting in the café, sipping a cold drink and enjoying a good burger.
