Considerations When Rating A Park, what do you consider? Options

[pdq]

Hi
i was wondering what people consider when they rate a park
I believe there is considerable subjectivity to what each person considers when they rate a park - and yes, what i like may not be what you dislike
so, in an effort towards less subjectivity and more objectivity, i came up with the following considerations when i rate a park.
regards, pdq

Park Rating System Considerations (rated on a 5 point scale)

Site Quality
consider; level, privacy, easy in/out, satellite reception

Facilities
consider; cleanliness, water pressure

Amenities
consider; laundry room, gym, pool, 50 amp, wifi

Location
consider proximity to city or mother nature, grocery store, other shopping

Pet Friendliness
consider; walking area, baggies, ‘rules’, breed restrictions

When I rate parks, I don't do the "It didn't have WiFi so give it a 2" thing. I rate on, as RLM said, "what is the park trying to sell me" and I rate it against other parks selling the same "experience."

I would give a rustic Forest Service campground a 10 even it it was all boondocking if there was good spacing between sites, lots of trees for shade, easy to get in and out of, etc.

We also rate parks based on their own advertized standard.
One park may be marketed as a safe overnight stop. Long pull through sites so one does not have to unhook. Perhaps a clean cool pool to take a refreshing swim after a long day on the road, clean laundry, fresh air and a good night sleep, etc.

Another park may be marketed as a destination. It is set up for folks to stay awhile, either with advertized 'in park' activities, or perhaps near a national park, historical area, river rapids, fishing lake, etc., which comes with it's own set of activities.

Those I find, are easier to rate.

Parks blessed with overnight AND destination location, therefore market to BOTH worlds, have a challenging task. Trying to please multiple markets. Those are the parks that I see the greatest range of numerical values. Thus the need to articulate in the body of the review.

This site has done a great job of keeping the rants, personal name-dropping, vulgar language, and slang-language to minimum. Thanks so much!
